Ep. #65 - Simplicity & the Trinity

How does absolute divine simplicity cohere with the trinity? What is meant by trinitarian monotheism? Doesn't Aquinas' exposition lead us to inevitable contradictions in the Godhead? Paul Chutikorn joins us to unpack the concepts and vocabulary needed to understand the trinity. He argues that Trinitarian monotheism is compatible with the absolutely simple God. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support
