Ep. 106 - Jonathan Edwards's Unique View of the Trinity w/Dr. Kyle Strobel
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kyle Strobel (yes, he's Lee Strobel's son) to talk about Jonathan Edward's idiosyncratic view of the Trinity. According to Dr. Strobel, Edwards's position is a kind of mediating position between the Augustinian (Latin) view and the social view. I find Strobel's take on Edwards very compelling! I know you'll love this episode.
