For the 350th episode of this podcast, Dr Michael Bird reviews the ways in which John’s Gospel presents Jesus as equal to God, and then concentrates on the language of 1:18. What does it mean that Jesus is the "only begotten" of the Father, and how would later theological terminology further express what John is teaching? Dr. Bird is Deputy Principal and Academic Lecturer in Theology at Ridley College (Melbourne, Australia). His many publications include What Christians Ought to Believe: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine through the Apostles' Creed and Jesus among the gods: Early Christology in the Greco-Roman World.
