How Does the Trinity Shape Personhood | William Ury

Lecture Title - Imaging the Image: A Relational Anthropology In this lecture, Ury will examine the decline of the concept of personhood in the modern era along with its corresponding separation from the doctrine of the Trinity, and then trace the theme of personhood—both human and divine—through the creation narratives. The question of evolutionary or creationist perspectives will be addressed as they pertain to a full understanding of human personhood. Ury aims to show that if we are able to discern the essence of created personhood in its fullness then it is possible to define the nature of sin and of salvation in such a way that God the Creator is revealed as not only able to remove the consequences of sin but as also able to recreate a human person in his image in time and eternity. M. William “Bill” Ury (PhD Drew University) is National Ambassador of Holiness for The Salvation Army. For over twenty years he has hosted The Hour of Holiness, a national radio program heard Sunday mornings on American Family Radio, and is author of Trinitarian Personhood: Investing the Implications of a Relational Definition (Wipf and Stock, 2002). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
