Describing the Trinity
The podcast discusses the challenge of describing the Trinity in concise and understandable language. It emphasizes that the New Testament presents Jesus as the revelation of God and suggests that instead of starting with the question 'Do we know who God is and then is Jesus his son?', we should look at Jesus and ask if the God who made the world is really the Father of Jesus. The podcast highlights the idea that God is the great unknown and Jesus is the one who is revealed to us, serving as the embodiment of the one God of Israel.
