You Tube Theology

Is God a self - a being capable of consciousness, knowledge, and choice, like us, but infinitely greater? Or is God a community, or a something-we-know-not-what? Dr. Holmes's language in his book The Quest for the Trinity (http://trinities.org/blog/archives/6272) made me think that he would answer: yes, God is a self, and not a community, or a mysterious Something. I took him to be a one-self trinitarian, and I ask him about that issue here. Is he? Well, it's complicated! We also discuss the idea that humans are made in God's image and likeness, pro-Nicene trinitarianism, Proverbs 8 and John 17:3. This and the last interviews are interesting contrasted with my two episodes with Dr. William Hasker, episodes 27 and 28 (http://trinities.org/blog/archives/5962, http://trinities.org/blog/archives/5978). There is also a relevant series of posts here at trinities from 2010: http://trinities.org/blog/?s=is+god+a+self Weekly podcast exploring views about the Trinity, and more generally about God and Jesus in Christian theology and philosophy. Debates, interviews, and historical and contemporary perspectives. Hosted by philosopher of religion / analytic theologian Dr. Dale Tuggy.
