This is a series of conversations between major theologians and Matthew Barrett on the doctrine of the Trinity. The principle without principle. The unmoved mover. These are theological and philosophical titles applied to the unbegotten One, but the biblical authors referred to Him most commonly as the Father. The heavenly Father, however, is different from human fathers in many ways. He has never been a son, and He was a Father long before Genesis 1. So, we must ask, why did God reveal Himself as Father and how does this affect our understanding of God the Son? Drs. Fesko and Barrett discuss the doctrine of eternal generation and the implications this doctrine has in our understanding of God and the Christian life. In this video J.V. Fesko and Matthew Barrett answer tough questions with a focus on chapter 6 of Barrett's book, Simply Trinity: The Unmanipulated Father, Son, and Spirit (Baker, 2021).
