Dr. Gerald Bray, a historian and theologian at Beeson Divinity School, dives into the transformative role of God as Father within the doctrine of the Trinity. He discusses how Jesus' portrayal of God deepens our relationship compared to Old Testament times. The conversation reveals differences in the understanding of God’s presence between Judaism and Christianity, the complexities of Trinitarian relationships, and the significance of atonement in knowing God. Bray highlights that our faith story hinges on these theological developments through history.
