http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-110-dr-keith-ward-on-christ-and-the-cosmos-part-2/ What does it mean to say that God is triune? Is this to say that the one God is a loving community of three divine selves? Or is there but one self common to the Trinity? And does the doctrine of the Trinity, properly understood, say something about how God intrinsically is in himself (or if you like, in “Godself”)? Or is the Trinity about how the ultimate source of all else appears to us human beings? Is God, most properly speaking, an “it”or a “he,” or a “she”?
In this episode we tackle these questions, as addressed in Dr. Keith Ward’s Christ and the Cosmos: A Reformulation of Trinitarian Doctrine (kindle). In Dr. Ward’s view, trinitarian teaching needs to be played, as it were, in a new key, to be understandable and relevant today. He explains in some detail how, in his view, God is triune.
Do you agree?
