The Trinity

March 13, 2014·42 min·3 clips
A Roman governor reported early Christians singing hymns to Jesus as though he were God, sparking a divine identity crisis.
Melvyn Bragg hosts theologians Janet Soskis, Martin Palmer, and Graham Ward to explore the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. They trace its origins from early Christian worship of Jesus as God, through the defining Council of Nicaea and the Arian controversy, to ongoing philosophical and artistic interpretations. The discussion covers how the Trinity distinguishes Christianity from other Abrahamic faiths and its modern theological significance.
