458: Was Theophilus of Antioch a Trinitarian?

Om avsnittet

Theophilus of Antioch was a second-century bishop who was the very first Christian to use the word 'Trinity" in his writings. Does that mean that Bishop Theophilus was a Trinitarian before Nicaea? This week's episode explores what Theophilus of Antioch believed about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, concluding that he did not, in fact, believe that the God of Israel was triune in nature. Instead, Theophilus regarded the Father alone as the true God.
