Sharp Faith (Week 11) - Sunday Theology Talks

Our Theologian in Residence, the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, continues a year-long course to dive into all the main areas of theology: Faith, Scripture, Tradition, God, Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church – always with an eye to their relevance for spirituality and for everyday life.

We have to wait for the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE for the unequivocal confession that Jesus is God (that is almost three centuries after Jesus’ death). Before then many were prepared to say that Jesus was a divine being but not God in the same way as the Father. Such hesitation should not surprise us. The way in which the New Testament affirms the divinity of Christ and even the sayings attributed to Jesus in the Gospels are like riddles that need to be solved.

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. For more information about our theology program and to receive links for weekly Sunday Theology Talks, please contact Fr. Gioia.
