Episode 486: A Faith of Both Testaments, Part Three--What About the Trinity?

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of the Trinity and how it influences the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament in Christianity compared to Judaism.

One of the most distinctive points of classic Christian theology is the notion of God as "Trinity"--God's existence as One Being in Three Persons, which is a way of saying that Jesus is fully God (as well as being human) and that the Spirit is also fully God. How have Christians read the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in light of the Trinity, and how is that different from how our Jewish neighbors read those same texts? And why might Christians have held onto their insistence that Jesus is fully divine? Join us for these questions this week on Crazy Faith Talk!
