The Father is Not the Son is a brilliant and objective look at the historical doctrines of the Trinity from and LDS viewpoint. Author Ray Smullin exposes the myriad misconceptions about the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which have for centuries plagued Christians all over the world and resulted in a distancing of worshippers from their Father in Heaven.
From the infiltration of Hellenistic beliefs into Christianity to the secret chambers and agendas of the Council of Nicea, from the politics and battles of such notorious Christian Fathers as St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas to the emergence of warring Christian theological factions, The Father is Not the Son brings forth hundreds of quotations and writings from historians, saints, rulers, and bishops direct to the reader.
Demonstrated with amazing clarity within this organized, easy-to-follow book is the fact that the Trinitarian doctrines actually destroy the concepts of a loving Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, leaving in their place a generic and unapproachable “substance.” Surprising facts and bold admissions make this a very complete and invaluable reference guide to what the Trinity is, why it was created, and why it was never meant to have been this way.
