A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology: In the Light of Biblical Trinitarianism (4th ed.) critically examines the claims of Oneness unitarian theology in light of biblical exegesis. Specifically, this book clearly shows that the entire content of biblical revelation reveals that the one true God is triune existing in three distinct persons-the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Further, the triune nature of God has been implicitly and explicitly affirmed by the early church, important Ecumenical Councils (and their resulting Creeds), and contemporary conservative biblical scholarship. Oneness theology rejects the biblical doctrine of the Trinity erroneously assuming a unitarian view of God-namely, a one person deity whose name is "Jesus." Hence, it teaches that Jesus is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Oneness advocates then see the titles "Father," Son," and "Holy Spirit" as mere names or roles that Jesus manifests and not as distinct persons. They embrace the notion that "Son" represents the humanity of Jesus while "Father" (and Holy Spirit) represents the deity of Jesus, thus denying the unipersonality, deity, and preexistence of the Son, Jesus Christ. This view sharply opposes the biblical position that the Son had/shared glory "with" the Father "before the world was" (John 17:5). Since, the biblical presentation of the preexistence of the Son (esp. as Creator) is the Achilles' heel of Oneness doctrine, this book devotes the needed space and attention to the exegesis of key passages (such as Gen. 19:24; John 1:1-18; 17:5; Col. 1:16-17; Phil. 2:6-11; and the prologue of Hebrews), which positively affirms biblical Trinitarianism. On this point alone, the Oneness position is shown biblically false.

Oneness Pentecostals and the Trinity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What's special about Oneness Pentecostals? In this penetrating analysis of Oneness theology and practice, Gregory Boyd reveals the experience of four years of personal involvement in a Oneness church. Although Oneness Pentecostals' belief in Christ's deity establishes some common ground with other Christians, their aggressive denial of the Trinity has nonetheless fostered their indisputably sub-Christian ideas about God's character, about salvation, and about Christian living.

Download and read online ebook Against Oneness Pentecostalism write by Michael Burgos. This book was released on 2020-03-17. Against Oneness Pentecostalism available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Oneness Pentecostalism constitutes one of the world's largest non-trinitarian expressions of Christianity. While many studies have been written to provide a critique of other heterodox Christian groups (e.g., Jehovah's Witnesses, the LDS Church), there is a general lack of careful scholarship examining the theological claims of Oneness Pentecostals. Now revised, updated, and expanded, Against Oneness Pentecostalism (3rd Edition) is a thoroughly researched critique of Oneness Pentecostalism. With scholarly precision, Michael Burgos has provided an incisive evaluation of Oneness exegesis and theology while accurately representing the teachings of Oneness Pentecostals. "Michael Burgos has produced a brilliant blend of systematic theology and biblical exegesis with a detailed and thorough discussion of the main passages at the center of the dispute between Oneness Pentecostalism and traditional trinitarianism. He argues throughout for certain central elements of trinitarianism, in particular, the eternality of the Son of God and the eternal co-existence of the Father and Son with a focus on the Son's activity in creation. He ably interacts with technical issues including the original languages, Greek grammar, and textual criticism and cogently demonstrates that Oneness Pentecostalism is deeply flawed in its interpretation of Scripture and its understanding of God. Highly recommended for those interested in Oneness Pentecostalism and the biblical teaching regarding Theology Proper and Christology." Alexander E. Stewart, Ph.D. Academic Dean and Associate Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Tyndale Theological Seminary "Burgos has clearly laid out the biblical case against Oneness unitarianism." Edward L. Dalcour, M.Apol., Ph.D. President, Department of Christian Defense Faculty of Theology, North-West University Author of a Definitive Look at Oneness Theology "Bad and destructive theology often grows 'in the dark,' particularly when it is not taken seriously among scholars. This has often been the case for Oneness doctrines which thrive on the lack of attention from serious scholarship. In this book, Michael Burgos has reversed that trend, deconstructing Oneness ideology through careful critique. Students on either side of this debate should engage this material!" Joshua Rice, Ph.D. Professor of New Testament, Pentecostal Theological Seminary "In the last several decades there have only been a handful of books written to directly respond to Oneness Pentecostalism. Burgos has added his voice to these works and made a valuable contribution after years of research. Because of both its content and tone, this book deserves the attention of those seeking a scholarly treatment of Oneness Pentecostalism on the specific exegetical issues (and other topics now covered in the appendices) that Burgos discusses. It also demands the attention of, and a response from, Oneness Pentecostal scholars. This is a fine example of what a pastor-scholar can accomplish." Skylar D. McManus, M.T.S. A Former Oneness Pentecostal This work is a valuable contribution to the small body of works that focus on Oneness theology. I wish it had been available thirty years ago when I was searching for solid answers to these central theological questions." Mark McNeil, M.A. A Former Oneness Pentecostal Adjunct Professor of Theology, St. Thomas University
