The Jesus of the First Christian Sermon [2 pages]
by David Maas rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
The Christology of Peter in this first sermon is relatively simple. He treats Jesus as a genuine human being from Nazareth who actually died on the cross. Nowhere in his sermon does Peter hint at the idea of Jesus being a Divine being or as having existed before his birth.

The Problem of the Trinity
by David Kemball-Cook [13 pages]
rated at 3.6 (out of 4 votes)
It is the thesis of this paper that there is no viable route between modalism and tritheism for a Trinity defined in the ways that theologians have attempted. There is no internally consistent way of defining or explaining a Trinity which does not result in shipwreck either on the ‘Scylla’ of modalism or in the ‘Charybdis’ of tritheism. There are three ambiguities and confusions in the attempted definitions of the Trinity which have tended to obscure these difficulties.
