In this episode I interact with a short video by Dr. William Lane Craig, and with a critique of it by Dr. James White. You’ll learn what they have in common as apologists, as well as what separates them. And Dr. White distinguishes between two things which might be meant by calling the Trinity “essential.”
I explain why in my view “the Trinity” isn’t essential in either sense.
I also explain why White’s work is perennially popular with the laity, and why scholars investigating the meaning and justification for “the Trinity” always ignore it.
Who do you most agree with on this topic: Dr. Craig, Dr. White, or me?
