Since When Did the Trinity Go Social?

In this episode, Craig Carter and Matthew Barrett discuss chapter 3 of Barrett’s book, Simply Trinity: The Unmanipulated Father, Son, and Spirit (Baker, 2021). Carter and Barrett discuss topics such as the legacy of Nicaea in light of the rise of social trinitarianism, the state of the trinity in evangelicalism, and the difference between the classical doctrine of God and modernity’s redefinition of theology proper… Craig even shares his own journey away from modern theology to a biblical and orthodox doctrine of the Trinity, putting his finger on what exactly opened his eyes to modernity’s revisionist view of God.
