Theology Proper

“God, in grace, has revealed himself in his Word and in his works, and the fact that he’s infinite doesn’t mean that trying to understand and know him is a fool’s errand.” - Olinger

“To say that God is supreme means that God is superior to everyone and everything else. God has no rivals. He is unique.” - Andy Naselli

“The inner ‘workings’ of the Trinity are mysterious to us; we cannot really know them. But, of the two major theological (not Sunday School) analogies, I prefer the social analogy or model of the Trinity” - Roger Olson

“Vidu aims to recover and defend a hard operation view, in which a unity of operation is maintained in all God’s dealings with creation. He sees the doctrine of inseparable operations as functioning as a “dogmatic rule.’” - Ref21

The idea “that our universe of things points to God and proclaims his glory, is the foundational thesis for Andrew Wilson’s book…. [which] poses the question why God created things—after all, he could have created only a spiritual world without physical substance.” - TGC

“While some may claim that eternal generation is an extra-biblical doctrine without scriptural warrant, Charles Lee Irons and Matthew Barrett demonstrate that the concept is seen throughout Scripture through familial imagery and other significant metaphors.” - Credo

“When I speak with a friend, I cannot fully grasp what he thinks and feels. I do not directly experience their day… If all of this is true of people, how much more true is it when we think about God? That is kind of the point that Gregory of Nyssa (AD 335–395) makes when he debates Eunomius” - Wyatt Graham

“The following theses are from Craig Carter’s new book, Contemplating God with the Great Tradition: Recovering Trinitarian Classical Theism (Baker Academic, 2021). These theses are a corrective to the relational theism so prevalent in Protestantism, and serve to help evangelicals today return to the biblical, classical, and Nicene doctrine of God.” - Credo

James R. Gordon argues against the Eternal Functional Subordination view of Ware and Grudem and in favor of the “doctrine of divine simpicity.” - Credo

“Taking its cue from social redefinitions of the Trinity, evangelicals have redefined the Trinity as a society, one in which each person has his own center of consciousness and will. As a result, a core doctrine like inseparable operations is foreign to many and sometimes held in disregard.” - Credo
