BI295 The Trinity and the Bible: A Biblical Theology of Persons and Relationships

not enough ratings

Course Description The doctrine of the Trinity—the idea that God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Spirit—is a foundational teaching of Christianity even though the word “trinity” never appears in the Bible. How can the Trinity be an essential biblical teaching if the word isn’t even found in the Bible? That question is among the issues Dr. Wesley Hill addresses in BI295 The Trinity and the Bible. After exploring how the doctrine of the Trinity developed in the early church, Dr. Hill shows how the Bible displays a Trinitarian theology. He begins in the Old Testament and moves through key passages in Paul’s writings and the Gospel of John showing how New Testament writers portrayed Jesus as equal with the God of Israel and how the Spirit is shown to be an equal person to complete the Trinity. This course will be useful for those wanting a scriptural-based apologetic for the Trinity as well as for those wanting to plumb the depths of the mystery of the Trinity to enrich their life of faith.
