Description: Was the Christian concept of Father, Son and Holy Ghost derived from the Bible? How did it evolve in the first centuries of Christianity, and why did it become so important? What spiritual reality were the early Church fathers trying to describe? What did they mean by "person"? How were the three terms, Life, Truth and Love in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy parallel to the Trinity? How did they differ? If a branch bears fruit only by abiding in the vine, every branch of Christianity must abide in the vine of Christ. How is Christian Science rooted in the vine of classic Christian thought on this subject, and in what ways is it a branch bearing the distinctive fruit of spiritual healing? Please join us as we delve into Christian history to illumine and enrich uplifted faith today.
