Hear O Israel, the Lord is Echad

Does the word echad in the Shema actually rule out God’s complex unity? Or does it prove something far more nuanced? Dr. Michael Brown takes you deep into Scripture and Jewish tradition to show why if an exclusive singularity was meant, echad was the wrong word to use. Dr. Brown also discusses why even the Lubavitcher Rebbe and classical rabbis like Ibn Ezra and Rashbam understood echad differently. You'll walk away with a richer understanding of God's oneness, the yachid/echad argument, and why faith in a triune God is not a departure from Jewish monotheism. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
