In early 2025, I gave a series of four talks on the topic of the Trinity, with a focus on the way in which the biblical authors articulated it and the early church developed models for it. Here I collect the talks, as well as some recommended readings.

1. The Trinity in the New Testament: Gospels (Google Doc, PDF)
2. The Trinity in the New Testament: Epistles (Google Doc, PDF)
3. The Trinity in Church History: Pre-Trinitarian Models (Google Doc, PDF)
4. The Trinity in Church History: Trinitarian Models and Beyond (Google Doc, PDF)
