In this episode of the Credo Podcast, Matthew Barrett fields questions from Samuel Bierig about his new book, Simply Trinity: The Unmanipulated Father, Son and Spirit (Baker). They consider what it means for the Spirit to “proceed” eternally from the Father and Son, and how appropriate it is, in light of divine appropriations, to identify the Spirit as “gift” and “love.” They also tackle the topic of inseparable operations, and reflect on what it means for creatures to, mysteriously and wonderfully, commune with the holy Trinity.
