Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 22:20. Sermon end time: 46:36.
Preached on Trinity Sunday, this sermon discusses the doctrine of Christology. By introducing the debate between Arius and Athanasius over the divinity of Jesus Christ, the preacher argues that the closeness of God to humanity is shown in the person of Jesus Christ who is fully divine and fully human. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: "God's perfection is precisely in God's closeness rather than in God's distance, in God's continual communicativeness rather than in God's inscrutable silence."
