51 - Development of Trinitarian Doctrine with Dr. Ronn Johnson

In this episode we talk with our most frequent guest, Dr. Ronn Johnson. We discuss how the ancient and early church spoke on, dealt with, and developed the idea of Trinitarian doctrine. Dr. Ronn Johnson has a Ph.D. in Bible Exposition from Dallas Theological Seminary. His dissertation on the created gods of the Old Testament (“The Old Testament Background for Paul’s Principalities and Powers”) provided him the opportunity to research the divine council worldview of the Hebrew Bible and apply it to New Testament exegesis. Ronn has taught Bible and theology courses at the college level for over 20 years, has pastored two churches in the Minneapolis area for fifteen years. He is also a sitting board member at the Dr. Michael S. Heiser Foundation and is also the Biblical Scholar for the Divine Council Worldview Podcast. Dr. Ronn has been known to ruffle a few evangelical feathers. He consistently urges Christians to remember and consider the ancient worldview of the Scriptures. He emphasizes that it does not always align with modern Western ideas that have been handed down through tradition, denominational creeds, or church statements. This is why we love and listen to him.
