Filioque: The Doctrine that Divided the Church

 

 I don't take a dogmatic stance on the filioque. I can take it or leave it. Nevertheless, I tend to lean toward likelihood of its truth. In the video below Gavin Ortlund interviews Fred Sanders in defense of the doctrine.

More by David Waltz on Monoousios vs. Homoousios

 

I find David Waltz research informative. For years he has discussed the difference between Monoousios vs. Homoousios. Here are some recent blogposts of his on the topic:

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].

The Arian Controversy by H.M. Gwatkin

 

R.P.C. Hanson's book The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God: The Arian Controversy, 318-381 is considered by most scholars to be the modern classic and standard resource dealing with the Arian controversy. In the previous generation, two of the classics were Henry Melvill Gwatkin's books, Studies of Arianism and The Arian Controversy. The latter was a condensed and updated version of the earlier and fuller tome. Having read The Arian Controversy, I noticed a clear bias for the Trinitarian position. As a Trinitarian myself, I agree; but I wish he, as a historian, would have been a bit more objective and fair with the opposing views.
