Harrison Holy Trinity Analysis

Improved Essays
Out of all of the writing that Harrison puts on the pages of her book, the part that interests me a lot is when she talks about leadership. When people think of leadership, they traditionally think about people who have position of power to say what is right for their followers to do and what is not. Harrison does a good job telling how true leadership should be. Following the example of the leadership in the Holy trinity, we can find that it includes respect, humility and equality. There are many aspects where this enlightenment can be applied in the world today. If I was asked what the single most confusing concept is in my knowledge, I would say the Holy Trinity. To me it doesn’t stir up confusion like those who are confused due to believing that it is farfetched and could not ever be true. To me it is so, because of the power that the three display when they are considered one being. In a theological standpoint, we are taught this, but especially for me I have a hard time figuring out how the three parts of the trinity intertwine into one being but are also individual in their own respect. I was able to learn up my thoughts on this dilemma when reading the part in Harrison’s book where she talks about the Holy trinity and the leadership there. This section …show more content…
This doesn’t just include the common people, but the least of these too. After all in the Bible says in Matthew 25:40, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” ("Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 25:40 - New International Version"). This doesn’t just include sick people, but also those who are discriminated against such as women slaves and other minorities. Leading and seeing oneself an equal to the followers is one trait, but there is more to following the lead that the Father gives as an

    Introduction & Thesis Identification For humans, the concept of the trinity has bewildered many of us for quite some time. I am fully convinced we will never know the concept of our triune God in its entirety this side of eternity. Though we cannot understand it fully, there is a plethora of knowledge we can obtain on God’s trinitarian nature. Saying God is triune actually has vital implications for us as Christians regarding topics such as the internal consistency of scripture, our salvation, and creation.…

    In his book, The Quest for the Trinity, Stephen R. Holmes argues that the so-called “Trinitarian revival” of the twentieth century is not a recovery of the traditional doctrine of the Trinity, but rather a misinterpretation of, and a departure from, the doctrine recognized in the patristic period, agreed upon in the fourth-century debates, and upheld, by all strands of the church, through both the medieval and Reformation periods with relatively minor disagreement (xv). Holmes’s purpose is not to disprove the modern theologians by direct interaction with their claims, but to show that their accounts of Trinitarian theology are at odds with Christian tradition. He sets out on a quest to explain the historical development of the doctrine accurately.…

    A percentage of history is evaluated through the use of firsthand accounts and personal bias, even if not on purpose. Both director of The Day After Trinity, Jon H. Else, and Thomas Misa interpreted the events leading up to the atomic bomb differently. In Misa’s chapter seven, Misa, mentioned how the development of the atomic bomb was essentially a national effort with many failures and successes. Misa treats each step in the process as equal, and even goes out of the way to explain utter failures, such as Ernest Lawrence’s attempt at efficient electromagnetic separation to produce uranium-235. This inclusion of all efforts towards the Manhattan Project shows how the process thrived on trial and error.…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
