The doctrine of the Trinity is basic to the Christian religion. It is no exaggeration to assert that the whole of Christianity stands or falls with it.

R.B. Kuiper
Rienk Bouke Kuiper (1886–1966) war ein niederländisch-US-amerikanischer reformierter Pastor und Theologieprofessor, der unter anderem am Westminster Theological Seminary sowie am Calvin Theological Seminary wirkte. Er stand für einen konservativen, bekenntnistreuen Calvinismus und betonte die Vereinbarkeit von reformierter Erwählungslehre mit engagierter Evangelisation. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften ein Verständnis für textzentrierte Schriftauslegung und eine klassische reformierte Ekklesiologie.
