An Explanation and Defense of the Filioque

 

As I've said many times before (e.g. here), I'm open to various formulations and models of the Trinity. I don't dogmatically hold to the filioque, but I lean toward it. In the following video Lutheran theologian Jordan Cooper gives some historical background and explanation to the filioque controversy, and then provides a defense of its truth.

Jordan Cooper Playlist on the Trinity

 

Calvinism and Lutheranism are both theological traditions that sprung from the Reformation. Proponents of both traditions consider each other fellow Christians despite the many theological differences. While I'm a Calvinist myself, I appreciate the Lutheran tradition and I find that Jordan Cooper is an excellent expositor and defender of the historic conservative Lutheran position. The link below is a YouTube playlist of talks Cooper gave on the topic of Christology. In them he discusses Lutheran distinctives and often compares and contrasts them with other traditions [e.g. Calvinistic understanding(s) of Christology].
