🕊️ Welcome to ​The Trinity in Scripture and Jewish Context

This study demonstrates how the doctrine of the Trinity is rooted in Jewish texts and Second Temple theology, offering a coherent picture of divine plurality in unity.
​​
The 6-week Bible study is a great place to begin, but don’t stop there. The accompanying academic and popular-level papers go deeper, offering biblical, theological, and philosophical support for this model.

If you're ready to move beyond the basics, take time to read the papers—they will sharpen your understanding and enrich your teaching.
