Reframing the Trinity from Regent Audio on Vimeo.
Lecture Description: In rightly affirming the Trinity, the Cappadocian fathers emphasized Matt 28:17’s formula, “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Unfortunately, it lacks the one word—LORD—that most clearly identifies Jesus as God, and which Jesus himself and Paul his apostle together prioritise when speaking of Jesus’ identity (e.g. Ps 110:1 in Mark 12:35-37 par; 1 Cor 8:6). Careful attention to the significance of “LORD” and “son” in the Scriptures and the New Testament not only dissolves several long-standing trinitarian debates but suggests the need to reframe the traditional formula to more fully reflect the biblical witness.
