Chapter 7 - Nicaea, Gregory, and Modern Theology
Manage episode 291478953 series 2886190
In this episode of Passages, Joshua and Caleb further explore the line in the Nicene Creed about the Son being "begotten, but not made," and they do so by looking at the remaining theological orations of Gregory of Nazianzus. While doing so they look at the implications that a doctrine such as the eternal generation of the Son has on modern theology: is the Trinity a model for human societies, is the Son functionally eternally subordinate to the Father, what practical application is there in such a doctrine if any?

Joshua Heavin serves as the lead writer and host of Passages, while Caleb Wait serves as the lead producer and co-host. Original music by Aaron Feeney, who welcomes inquires.
