Transfigured

Dr. Tim Mackie is the creative director of "The Bible Project" and a Professor at Western Seminary. We talk about hermeneutics, the doctrine of the Trinity, the development of doctrine, and how Christians who disagree about Christology can relate to each other. We mention Philo of Alexandria, Constantine, Arius of Alexandria, George Guthrie, and more.

We will discuss the recent kerfuffle between Gavin Ortlund (  @TruthUnites  ) and Megan Basham over her book "Shepherds for Sale". This is a live livestream so there will hopefully be opportunity for questions and comment interaction with the audience.

In this episode, Dustin Smith (  @BiblicalUnitarianPodcast  ) and I argue that Clement of Rome had a biblical unitarian Christology. Clement was a first century bishop of Rome and an Apostolic Father and important figure in early Christianity. We look at his letter to the Corinthians and other historical data to assess his theology. We mention Eusebius of Caesarea, Irenaeus of Lyon, Justin Martyr, the Epistle of Barnabas, Theodotus of Byzantium, Artemon, Origen of Alexandria, Clement of Alexandria, Dynamic Monarchianism and more.

The podcast explores the nature of Jesus in Biblical Unitarianism, his role in atonement, and the relationship between the divine and the human. It contrasts differing views on the nature of God and delves into the connection between the divine and non-divine elements. The discussion also touches on creation's goodness, unity, and human understanding of the divine, as well as explores the divine-human connection across various belief systems.

This video helps explain Tertullian's Christology on its own terms in its historical context and in response to polemical arguments with Gnostics and Modalists. It also shows that Tertullian was not an orthodox trinitarian by the later standard definitions.
