If you could throw away the trinity bones, Murray's books are absolutely wonderful meat.

I preach all the time against the trinity, so knowing that a book promotes the trinity somehow does not make me enthusiastic about reading it.

I do read Trinitarian books, because there is a dearth of Oneness books on some areas or subjects, but if a oneness book is available in the same area, then I would prefer it.

unfortunately I have found out that the quality in oneness book is often not very good, which makes me want to throw up my hands up in despair.

So my choices in learning often amount to this.
A high quality book, written intelligently and reasonably but with a Trinitarian bent.
or
A poor quality book, written not very intelligently and sometimes not quite reasonably but with no Trinitarian bent.

A. W. Tozer is another writer that I thoroughly enjoy reading, as well as Oswald Chambers. Just because they have a different way of explaining how they understand the godhead does not mean that they do not believe in one God manifesting himself in different ways.
