Preamble:
In this sixth lesson you will continue to consider 'The Knowledge of God the Creator,' which is book one of 'The Institutes of the Christian Religion.' For this lesson you will be required to read chapter 13 (Parts 1-15) of book one. The best approach is to read the chapter first, and then to read it again with the questions before you.

What is mean't by God being three Persons? How many Gods are there? Explain?
Is the word 'Trinity' an acceptable description for God? Explain why you answered the way you did?
