Is The Trinity Biblical? Tom Wright On God's Glory, The Trinity, Church Views And The End Times

Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three fascinating questions about the identity of Jesus, the doctrine of God and what it means to remain faithful when your theology puts you in the minority. First, a former Jehovah’s Witness asks about the connection between God’s glory in Exodus 33, Paul’s extraordinary statement about seeing “the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” in 2 Corinthians 4:6, and the vision of God in Revelation 22. Tom argues that the New Testament turns our normal theological method on its head: rather than deciding what God must be like and then trying to fit Jesus into that picture, we discover who God is by looking at Jesus. Then, could Christians dispense with the traditional doctrine of the Trinity and find a simpler explanation? Tom and Mike explore why Father, Son and Spirit cannot simply be collapsed into one another—and why recovering the Jewish and biblical roots of Trinitarian theology may help. Finally, Tom responds to a Christian who has rejected dispensationalist end-times theology but now feels isolated in his church and community. 00:02:19 Q1 How does Jesus reveal the glory of God, and what do Exodus 33, 2 Corinthians 4 and Revelation 22 tell us about the relationship between Jesus and God? 00:11:16 Q2 Do Christians need to rethink the Trinity? Is there a simpler or more biblical way of understanding Father, Son and Holy Spirit? 00:25:37 Q3 What if I think my church is teaching the Bible wrongly? How should Christians handle serious theological disagreement - particularly over the end times - without becoming isolated or arrogant?
