The Shadow of the Almighty introduces readers to the nature of God by exploring the biblical references to God as "Father, " "Son, " and "Holy Spirit." This fruitful task offers fresh insight into the meaning of the biblical language used for God, and it gives readers the background necessary for understanding the trinitarian perspective of the New Testament and of the Christian faith.

Authors Ben Witherington and Laura Ice look first at Father language in early Judaism, second at Father language in early Christianity, third at Son language, and finally at language designating the Spirit. Their thorough study shows what the earliest Christians understood by using these terms and, ultimately, what these terms mean for modern faith and practice.

Complete with questions at the end of each chapter, The Shadow of the Almighty provides an excellent place to begin a deeper study of God.
