Which New Testament book emphasizes the Trinity as a theological motif?

• A. Jude
• B. John
• C. Matthew
• D. Revelation

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is recognizing where the Trinity—Father, Son, and Spirit—receives a sustained, defining presentation in the New Testament. Revelation does this in a pervasive way through its narrative of worship, sovereignty, and redemption. For instance, Revelation 1:4–5 opens with a blessing from the Father, the sevenfold Spirit before the throne, and Jesus Christ, highlighting the three distinct persons in a single divine action. Throughout the throne-room visions in chapters 4–5, the Father is shown on the throne, the Lamb (the Son) stands central in the redemptive drama, and the Spirit is depicted in fullness, all receiving worship together. This pattern recurs as the book unfolds God’s final victory, making the triune God a central, pervasive motif.

Other books contain Trinitarian elements, but they don’t develop the motif with the same continuous, book-spanning emphasis. For example, a baptismal command in Matthew explicitly names the Father, Son, and Spirit, which is a clear Trinitarian formula, while John’s gospel emphasizes the deep relationship among the Father, the Son, and the Spirit within Jesus’ teaching. Jude, by contrast, concentrates on warnings and exhortations rather than doctrinal focus on the Trinity.
