two new papers published online

At the Journal of Analytic Philosophy, and at the Journal of Biblical Unitarianism. Thanks to the editors of both journals for their good work.

The first paper continues the discussion with Hasker of my “Divine Deception” arguments against three-self Trinity theories. I discuss there the monotheism of Isaiah. Then I get into interesting arguments by historical unitarians, such as Nye, Clarke, and Worcester, even comparing and contrasting Clarke’s Origen-like view with that of three-self (“social”) trinitarians like Hasker and Swinburne. In short, the three-selfers clash with the theology and language of the Bible. But the Bible has to win that battle.

The second concerns a vital question for all Christians: how to understand the relation of God, Jesus, and worship. If we should worship both God and Jesus, does that show that they are one and the same, the same god? Or if we know that Jesus are God are two, does that mean we should worship only God? I argue no to both, on New Testament grounds. It is a written version of this screencast lecture.
