A Jewish Trinity? Boyarin/Heiser are mistaken about the concept of God in the Bible

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s episode we discuss the anachronism of “a Jewish Trinity” proposed by Daniel Boyarin and promoted by Michael Heiser. This idea retrograde into Israelite/biblical theology by these two scholars. We address this by comparing Jewish and Christian approaches to describing or defining God. Both authors point to Cannanite Theology to support their claims. Talmudist Daniel Boyarin in his Jewish Gospels book and Dr. Michael Heiser in his presentations based on his dissertation titled “The Divine Council in Late Canonical and non-Canonical Second Temple Jewish Literature.” Both suppose that both ancient linguistics and biblical mysticism point to a trinity-like concept that existed in pre-first century theological ideas found in the Bible. Frank Morris and I explore the traditions that lead to the two powers in heaven theology and how the early church fathers developed theological concepts, which could be considered to be inconsistent with the ancient Israelite worldview portrayed in the Bible.Support the showMystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
