This episode is my presentation of most of his tract<strong> &#8220;The Apostle Paul a Unitarian&#8221; (1828).<\/strong> He starts with the portrait of Paul and his preaching given in Acts, and then surveys all of Paul&#8217;s letters. He argues that Paul is a unitarian &#8211; someone who thinks that the one God is just the Father, and who does not say that &#8220;Jesus is God&#8221; or that he is &#8220;divine&#8221; in the way that the one God is divine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I present all but his last five pages, which deal with the New Testament letter to the Hebrews, which most scholars now think is not by Paul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does he present a strong case? Why or why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Links for this episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caleb-Stetson-younger.png\" alt=\"Caleb Stetson - younger\" class=\"wp-image-41048\" width=\"235\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caleb-Stetson-younger.png 649w, https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caleb-Stetson-younger-322x450.png 322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Apostle Paul a Unitarian (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=vGc3AAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA145&amp;dq=The+Apostle+Paul+a+Unitarian&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjyh5SnucbgAhXng-AKHT48DaQQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Apostle%20Paul%20a%20Unitarian&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\">The Apostle Paul a Unitarian<\/a>&#8221; @ Google Books<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Biography of Caleb Stetson (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/stetsonkindredof05stet\/page\/12\" target=\"_blank\">Biography of Caleb Stetson<\/a> by his granddaughter<\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"podcast 100 \u2013 Dr. Larry Hurtado on God in New Testament Theology (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/podcast-100-dr-larry-hurtado-on-god-in-new-testament-theology\/\" target=\"_blank\">podcast 100 \u2013 Dr. Larry Hurtado on God in New Testament Theology<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hans K\u00fcng on New Testament theology (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/hans-kung-on-new-testament-theology\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hans K\u00fcng on New Testament theology<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"God and his Son: the logic of the New Testament (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/god-and-his-son-the-logic-of-the-new-testament\/\" target=\"_blank\">God and his Son: the logic of the New Testament<\/a> <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/podcast-16-how-is-jesus-the-one-lord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"podcast 16 \u2013 How is Jesus \u201cthe one Lord\u201d?
