The Church Fathers on the Trinity

Below is a video with Dr. Michael Haykin on how the Persons of the Trinity relate to one another in the teachings of the Church Fathers. The debate over whether or not there is an eternal relationship of authority and submission in the Godhead is particularly heated in patristic studies. Both sides of the debate want to claim that Church History is on their side, especially Augustine and the Cappadocian Fathers.

Dr. Haykin explains how the Church Fathers understood the relationship of authority and submission among the Persons of the Godhead and how some contemporary theologians have misunderstood the Fathers in this regard. We are grateful to Dr. Haykin for his time.
