A presentation where Beau Branson and I argue that Dr. Dale Tuggy's definitions of "god" and "unitarian" lead to three problems for his work at present.

“Standard” and “Modified” Oneness Christology
In my recent appearance on the London Lyceum podcast, I briefly explain the difference between a "standard" and "modified" Oneness Christology. I had to discuss this in order to make a point in the podcast, but my guess is that, for people unfamiliar with the analytic literature on the Trinity and Incarnation, what I was… Continue reading “Standard” and “Modified” Oneness Christology
Now Available: My Master’s Thesis
In the last several decades there have been few sustained works on Oneness Pentecostal Christology. I have added my voice to this small body of literature, and I am the only one I know of that has addressed Oneness Christology from the perspective of analytic theology. My focus is on a single verse and what… Continue reading Now Available: My Master’s Thesis
Logic 101: What’s an Argument?
This entire series is going to discuss how to find and evaluate certain kinds of arguments.

I recall that he used a similar line of reasoning in his "Case Against Preexistence" episode on the podcast, and the fact… Continue reading Tuggy’s Demon-Puppet Thought Experiment: My Thoughts and His Reply
A Second Look at Jason Dulle’s Oneness Christology
In a prior post I attempted to describe Jason Dulle's Oneness Pentecostal Christology, and I then applied it to what Dulle says about Patripassianism (the view that "the Father suffered"). Thanks to his comments on those posts, I think I can give a more accurate statement of his view, or something similar to it. It… Continue reading A Second Look at Jason Dulle’s Oneness Christology
A Tale of Two Conferences
This past month I had my first foray into the conference-side of academic life. I presented two papers—or rather, two parts of the same paper—at two conferences. I'd like to share some of my experiences and reflections from these events. Washington, D.C. The first paper I presented was “Parsing Oneness Pentecostal Christology” at the Society… Continue reading A Tale of Two Conferences
