#40 - "Born of a Woman": How Galatians 4:4 Became a Test Case for Christ's Origin

Paul's terse line—"born of a woman"—has carried enormous theological freight. Traditionally read as proof that the eternal Son entered history, it shaped doctrines from Nicaea to Calvin. Yet Socinians read it in a radically different key: a claim about human birth and legal status, not eternal pre-existence. This episode opens the debate, tracing the orthodox case for pre-existence, divine Sonship, and the legal implications of "born under the law," setting the stage for Socinian reinterpretation.
