Tommo on the Trinity and Chester on Community

Two interesting links, from two interesting guys!

Mark Thompson from Moore College discusses the location of the Trinity with respect to John Webster’s writings, on his blog here.

Tim Chester of Total Church fame discusses the “one-anothering” of New Testament ecclesiology which forms part of our church community on his blog here.

Here’s a taster of Mark Thompson’s post:

“… is it the doctrine of the Trinity which stands at the very centre? Is every other Christian doctrine ultimately an exposition of this doctrine? Or might we speak more accurately of the triune God at the centre? God is the ground of everything that exists. All truth is ultimately traceable to him. But do we put the doctrine under unreasonable strain by suggesting that it ‘comprehends within itself all further teaching about creatures, their nature and ends’?”

And a taster of Tim Chester’s post:

“All the New Testament writers refer often to what we are to do to or for ‘one another’ (or ‘each other’ – the Greek is the same). This concept of ‘one anothering’ is a central feature of New Testament ecclesiology, albeit one which receives little attention in contemporary academic discussions.”

They’re both good reads – check them out!
