The Trinity Debate (2016-2017): A Selected Bibliography Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

The 2016-2017 Trinity debate over the eternal submission of the Son was covered thoroughly by this blog, other blogs, Christianity Today, podcasts, a panel at ETS, and most certainly in every theological group text in evangelicalism. In an attempt to try and boil the debate down for those who want to read up, reflect, or reference the debate, I created a bibliography on all of the published material I could find based on a list I've been accruing since late 2016. That bibliography was 42 pages. Forty-two. 42. Frankly, many of those sources were unhelpful, repetitive, and/or broken links. So I decided to whittle it down to the bare essentials -- posts that defined the debate or appeared to be shared extensively -- and it became an 11-page bibliography. That'll have to do. Download the bibliography here.* *A reader brought to my attention the monster list over at Books at a Glance. This list has been updated with additions from their list and a few others I originally did not include from my own notes.
