The Biblical Trinity, with Brandon Smith
Matt and Alastair discuss that perennial topic, the Trinity in the Bible, with Brandon Smith — author and editor extraordinaire on this very topic.
In The Biblical Trinity, Brandon Smith proclaims the Trinity from the Bible. The doctrine arises not from a handful of prooftexts but from the fullness of what the Bible says about God. In this edition of Mere Fi, Alastair and Matt chat with Brandon about what this project means in the broad landscape of contemporary theology. They also take a closer look at how the book of Revelation contributes to a Biblical picture of the Trinity.
