A Brief History of Trinitarian Thought


(3.8 stars; 5 reviews)

Christ the Center welcomes Dr. Carl Trueman, vice president for academic affairs and professor of historical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and author of several books including The Claims for Truth: The Trinitarian Theology of John Owen, John Owen: Reformed Catholic and Renaissance Man, Lutherâs Legacy, Protestant Scholasticism, The Wages of Spin, and Minority Report, for a discussion of the history of Trinitarian theology and the theology of John Owen. Among the many aspects of Trinitarian theology discussed were the Nicene Creed and the Chalcedonian formula. Particular individuals who come in for comment, in addition to John Owen, include the Cappadocian Fathers (Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory Nazianzus, and Basil the Great), Athanasius, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Jonathan Edwards, Karl Barth, and Cornelius Van Til. Trueman specifically highlights the contribution of Owen to Trinitarian theology and practice with his emphasis on the believerâs communion with each person of the Godhead and Owenâs understanding of the Holy Spirit as the bond of communion and communication between the divine and human natures of the one person of Jesus Christ. Listeners will go away from this episode with a renewed appreciation for the importance of understanding the God of Scripture as Triune. http://reformedforum.org/ctc42/

Almost Unusable


(1 stars)

This is a case study of how not to record and edit. Many speakers were too faint to be audible, while others were clear. The interview was disorganized and unprofessional, including speakers talking over one another, and snorts, guffaws, and other unpleasant bodily noises were not edited out. Librivox used to have standards for recording and processing...you could not get through QC without fixing these things. I'm shocked they let this one get released.
