Drew Lewis Resources Contra Unitarianism & Pro Trinitarianism

[[UPDATE: Drew Lewis is now going by his real name Andrew Schumacher. "Drew" of course being short for "Andrew". For various legitimate reasons people go by pseudonyms. I have no problem with that. I myself use a nom de plume. What matters to me is the strength of their arguments.]]


Drew Lewis is a former Unitarian (from the Way International) who now defends the doctrine of the Trinity. Some of his material is so good that even informed Unitarians have recommended it to help sharpen their Unitarian arguments. For example, his video on Inconsistent Unitarian Arguments.

Unlocking the Meaning of Isaiah 53: Who is the Suffering Servant? by Jonathan McLatchie

The following is a link to McLatchie's excellent article that succinctly gathers together the Old Testament evidence that the angel of God's presence, the angel of the LORD (malak YHVH), the arm of the LORD, the messenger/angel of the Covenant, the angel in whom God's name resides (etc.) are all one person, namely the pre-incarnate Messiah/Christ.

I myself have written or linked to and/or reproduced other people's work that demonstrate the same thing on this Blog. But this article by McLatchie is an excellent summation of that data. I highly recommend it.

Mark My Words by Anthony Rogers

I highly recommend Anthony Rogers' article on the Gospel of Mark titled "Mark My Words" in the Puritan Reformed Journal, January 2015, Volume 7, Number 1 [HERE or HERE]. In the article he argues for Christ's deity from the Gospel of Mark.

At 28:10 to 36:43, Rogers points out that while Christian scholarship from the time of B.B. Warfield has generally moved away (completely or more and more) from the position that the Trinity was revealed in the OT; many modern Jewish scholars have been going in the opposite direction. Suggesting something like the Trinity (or at least a Binity) was believed by some (sometimes even a majority of) Jews both before, during and after the time of Christ. Rogers then goes on to quote some of these contemporary Jewish scholars to that effect.
