Comments on: Herman Bavinck’s Trinitarian Theology and Organic Apologetic https://reformedforum.org/podcasts/ctc512/ Reformed Theological Resources Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:01:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Michael Head https://reformedforum.org/podcasts/ctc512/#comment-3535151 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 16:31:34 +0000 http://reformedforum.org/?p=6597#comment-3535151 While I’m leaving suggestions, it’d be great to hear a discussion of Calvin’s doctrine of the Trinity in Institutes 1.13. Having led two groups through this section, I still struggle with his describing the Father as “the beginning and the source” (1.13.20), “the fountainhead and beginning of deity” (1.13.23), and “the beginning of deity, not in the bestowing of essence…but by reason of order” (1.13.26); all while affirming the aseity of the Son and writing, “it is a detestable invention that essence is proper to the Father alone, as if he were the deifier of the Son” (1.13.24). I’d love to hear you guys work through this in a discussion!
