In this second part of my review of Dr. Fred Sanders’s The Deep Things of God (part 1 here), I discuss the following questions:

• Is New Testament teaching on prayer “trinitarian”?
• How, according to Dr. Sanders, should the claim that “God exists in three Persons” be interpreted? That is, going beyond the language, just what is the theological theory here?
• Does C.S. Lewis show us how to defend the coherence of the idea that God is one being even while being three Persons?
• What, according to Dr. Sanders, is the crisis in contemporary trinitarian systematic theology, when it comes to the Bible?

I also suggest a few corrections re: things like councils, Irenaeus, and alleged implications of unitarian Christian theologies.
