A primary condition for fresh thinking on the Trinity is an accurate, objective account of past and present thought wrote one reviewer when The Triune God first appeared in 1972. "This [is what] Fortman has presented sensitively, accurately, and compactly" The author sets out "to trace the historical development of Trinitarian doctrine from its written beginnings to its contemporary status" Thus he treats the biblical witness, the Council of Nicea, Augustine, the Middle Ages, and the development of this doctrine from the fifteenth century to the present in the Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic traditions.
