The Trinity Has 3 Major Problems — This Model Solves Them

I'm joined by Dr. Beau Branson to discuss Monarchical Trinitarianism. He defends this view in the debate book on the Trinity linked below. It's titled, "One God, Three Persons, Four Views." Branson defines monarchical models as affirming that (1) there are three divine persons and one God, (2) the Father is the sole “source without source” and (3) “God” is a referring term almost almost used to refer to the Father. https://wipfandstock.com/9781666719055/one-god-three-persons-four-views/ 00:00 Intro 00:31 Three Trinity Problems 00:42 Theophany Problem Explained 01:44 Three Gods Problem 03:14 Who Is God Problem 05:13 Why These Criteria Matter 06:30 What is a Monarchical Trinitarian Model? 08:47 Fundamentality and Grounding 12:20 What Does Divine Mean 16:04 Nature Energies and Relations 24:17 Monarchy and One God 28:57 Solving the Three Gods Issue 37:23 Who Is God Clarified 39:28 Predicate vs Subject God 39:57 Arian Controversy Context 40:37 Theophany and Two Powers 42:38 Representation Language Examples 44:47 Why Father Invisible Son Visible 49:17 Thomas and My God 50:28 Nicene Creed God From God 54:51 Objections From Contributors 55:32 Hasker Resistance Explained 58:24 Craig on Aseity Critique 01:03:11 Tuggy Unitarian Charge 01:06:22 Counting and Personhood Wrap 01:11:05 Thanks and Closing If you want to see other models of the Trinity, check out the playlist below. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlVH-ThCazKmStWtxqvoCPP3QD_mhfCI8&si=rXwpWowj3a4WhcYC Recently, my wife unexpectedly lost her job, putting us in a difficult place financially.
