Chapter 1
The Son We Don’t Know
1. How does Jesus drive our wondering about the Trinity?
2. Scriptural thought about Jesus gravitates between two adages:
(1) what is not divine cannot save, and
(2) what Jesus has not assumed, he has not healed.
Where do these come from biblically?
How could they guide our thought and speech about God?
3. How does our worship tell us the truth about God?
Or is it merely a consumer preference?
Why would ancient Christians think otherwise?
4. How might heresy be helpful to determining what Christians
believe?
How does the long arc of church history show God’s patience with
us?
5. When, if ever, is a little extremism a good thing?
6. Why must all language, however “correct,” be scrubbed free of
misunderstanding?
7. St. Hilary said that although God is one, God “is not solitary.”
How does that change our view of God?
8. Why is it important that God is not male (or female)?
How could our language for God reflect God’s superiority to human
categories like gender?
