Is God a self – a being capable of consciousness, knowledge, and choice, like us, but infinitely greater? Or is God a community, or a something-we-know-not-what?
Dr. Holmes’s language in his book The Quest for the Trinity made me think that he would answer: yes, God is a self, and not a community, or a mysterious Something. I took him to be a one-self trinitarian, and I ask him about that issue here. Is he? Well, it’s complicated!
We also discuss the idea that humans are made in God’s image and likeness, pro-Nicene trinitarianism, Proverbs 8 and John 17:3.

This and the last interviews are interesting contrasted with my two episodes with Dr. William Hasker, episodes 27 and 28. There is also a relevant series of posts here at trinities from 2010.
Thanks to Dr. Holmes for a couple of really substantial discussions!
