trinities 362 - Dr. Andrew Hollingsworth on "mere" social trinitarianism and eternal relations …

trinities.org/... In this episode we’ll meet analytic theologian Dr. Andrew Hollingsworth and discuss his interesting forthcoming article “Mere Social Trinitarianism, the Eternal Relations of Origin, and Models of God” in the Journal of Analytic Theology. Topics include:
“mere” social trinitarianism - the core claims which any “social” trinitarian is committed to
the concept of a self
the idea that God has multiple first-person points of view
why “social” trinitarianism has been popular recently among Christian philosophers and analytic theologians
whether “social” trinitarianism is found in Christian history before the 20th century
what “classical” trinitarianism was, in contrast to “social” trinitarianism
in what sense a “Person” of the Trinity “is God” according to “social” trinitarians
the concept of constitution in Trinity theories and how this relates to worries about tritheism
Chad McIntosh’s 4-self Trinity theory
William Lane Craig’s suggestion that a “social” trinitarian should insist there are two ways to be divine - one for God the Trinity and one for the divine Persons & his cat-parts analogy
analytic theologian Keith Yandell’s social trinitarianism and tritheism objections
Craig’s analogy for the Trinity as a soul with three complete sets of cognitive faculties and his Cerberus analogy, and how this relates to real-life human conjoined twins
Dr. Jc Beall’s suggestion that the Incarnation and the Trinity should be understood as involving true (real) contradictions
the seeming incoherence of the “Athanasian” creed
the concept of God vs. models of God
the Doctrine of the Eternal Relations of Origin (DERO) - i.e. a traditional trinitarian doctrine of “processions”
the nature of these posited relations of origin - that they must be timeless and causal
whether the divine essence which the Father shares, via these origin relations, with the Son and Spirit is a universal property or a particular property
the medieval suggestion that the “Persons” of the Trinity are “subsistent relations”
one-self Trinity theories
In Part 2 we’ll discuss the costs of combining social trinitarianism and DERO.

A concept of God is not as a "perfect being" since classical theists do not think that God is a being; he is ipsum esse subsistens.
