Jesus claimed to be divine, yet distinct from God the Father, while affirming Jewish belief in the one God of Israel. How is this possible? The plurality of God in the OT and in Jewish sources. The "Word of God" and the "angel of the Lord." The angel Metatron, a "Son of God"? The divinity of the Messiah in the Old Testament. God's Spirit. The Trinity in the New Testament: one God, three persons. The second person: God's knowledge, idea, word, Son. The third person: God's spirit and love. An introduction to the work of the Trinity, work which encompasses the entire rest of the course.
