The Trinity In The Old Testament | Dr. Igal German

Is the Trinity a Christian invention? Is it an addition (probably an unnecessary and possibly even logically incoherent one) to the more simple, obvious, unitarian concept of God? And is it true that the Old Testament teaches the absolute oneness of God? Or, on the other hand, could it be that the Old Testament points toward the Triune nature of the Godhead—and that the clues are there, if one has eyes to see?

Today's episode is going to help answer these questions once and for all.

Specifically, you'll learn:

  • Why it's so important to know whether the Old Testament points to the Trinity.

  • 10 Ways to find the Trinity taught or alluded to in the Old Testament

  • What passages and themes actually point to the Doctrine of the Trinity in the Old Testament.

  • Why the Triune Nature of God is not a logical problem for Christians.
