"Trinity and Triunity"

Salvation and the Nature of the Godhead

By E. Charles Heinze


To the Glory of the Triune God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5:13

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour,
and power: for Thou hast created all things, and
for Thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 4:11
