Thanks him for the book but questions the correctness of certain positions in it. In his Christian beliefs he adopted only those articles of creeds which are confirmed by the Bible. The Trinity is fully substantiated but the quo modo is incomprehensible. Has searched for proof that the second person in the Trinity was begotten by the first person as his coeval, coequal, and coeternal son, but witho ut success. Therefore considers this position as of questionable orthodoxy.
