Is there One God or Three? How does one reconcile the
"One God" of the Sh'ma with the "Three
Persons" of the Trinity?
The doctrine of the trinity has been at the heart of
much theological controversy. The routine objection is
that the doctrine sacrifices monotheism to "tritheism."
But this objection thrives on a misconception of divine
personality in the image of disparate, individual, human
selves.
This type of rationalistic apologetics, promotive of
trinitarianism on speculative rather than revelational
grounds, regrettably encourages this misunderstanding.
One of the reasons we suffer such misunderstanding is
due to our relying on "models."
Chuck explores the ostensible tensions between the
Old and New Testament revelations of the ultimate
mystery of the Godhead. This is a foundational study for
every Christian.
