A response from Ray Anderson after reviewing the brief article by professor Bill Taylor:
John:
The short essay on the trinity (eternal Father, Son, Holy Spirit) is right on target. My former professor T. F. Torrance argued that if God as revealed to us through the Son is not identical with God in his eternal being, then we introduce mythology into our epistemology. Our theological language as well as our theology of atonement rests upon the economic trinity having ontological correspondence with the immanent trinity. Complicated and somewhat abstract theological jargon, but essential to our knowledge of God!
