In The Beginning
The term “community” is never used in Genesis 1-3. In fact the passage is focused on God, a single couple and the world around them. How do we find the basis of community in that story and why is it so important to our understanding of ourselves in community?
Going “back” even further, what does the nature of the Trinity tell us about human community? And how exactly does the Trinity exist and function as three-in-one?
This episode tackles some tough and foundational concepts but guests Dr. Meghan Larissa Good, Dr. Patrick Franklin, Dr. Betty Pries and Dr. Beth Stovell make a convincing case for the importance of both concepts and how they apply to community.
