What exactly do we mean by "God"?Even
among Christians, there are many misconceptions about God, and these
errors may hinder our connection with God. Dr. Elizabeth Klein,
Assistant Professor at Augustine Institute, will lead you through a
comprehensive study of Scripture that will bring you to a deeper and
clearer understanding of who God is, preparing you to share this truth
with others.Dr. Klein
begins in the Old Testament and shows what God says about himself at
various moments in redemptive history, as well as how he reveals to
Israel that "the Lord is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Dr. Klein then moves on
to the New Testament to show how this one God reveals himself as three.
You'll get answers to questions such, "How can God be both transcendent
and personal?" along the way. How can Jesus be God if God is one? What
does "God is love" (1 John 4:8) mean? Why is the doctrine of the trinity
the primary mystery of our religion, despite the fact that the word
"Trinity" does not appear in the Bible?
