2021 was a very <\/strong>productive year for the trinities podcast! I managed to produce 27 new episodes, aiming for but not always achieving 3 new episodes per month, excluding August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started the year with podcast 314, 10 Fundamental Questions about the Trinity<\/a>. Here I formulated 10 basic and 10 advanced question about “the doctrine of the Trinity,” <\/strong>which I then used in three further episodes, as I reviewed books which purport to be introductions to the subject, evaluating them how many of these questions they actually give clear answers to. I have a pile of more “Intro to the Trinity” books – because of the inherently dark nature of this subject, there is a perpetual demand for books which promise to lessen the confusion – so I may do a few more such episodes in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did fewer interview episodes <\/strong>in 2021. The most interesting ones I did were with Dr. JC Beall<\/a>, about his book arguing that catholic “two natures” christology should be embraced as a real, and not as a merely apparent, contradiction. Or maybe the best of them was this interview <\/a>with a new whistleblower <\/strong>about his book, long-time Church of Christ pastor Jeff Deuble, author of Christ Before Creeds<\/em>.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of books and whistleblowers, I was proud to present<\/a> a new, modernized edition of Presbyterian minister Thomas Emyln’s An Humble Inquiry<\/em>. This was a big project, taken on with my fellow UCA Board Member Kegan Chandler<\/a>. It makes this lost classic available to present and future generations<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Unitarian Christian Alliance<\/a><\/strong> took up a lot of my energy in 2021, as after being delayed because of Covid-19, we finally were able to put on our first conference, here in Tennessee. It was a smashing success, and everyone is eager to do it again in 2022. The opening-night slot was for my new presentation, the product of many years of studying the fourth gospel, “What John 1 Me<\/strong>ant.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
