Critical Questions about the Christian Faith

Some papers by Douglas Miller

The Trinity: why does it matter?

The Church believes that God is three persons and yet God is one God. What does this mean, and why does it matter? Some say it is the theology of a free and democratic society. Others say it is impossible arithmetic.

Unlearning the Western Concept of God

Two very different ways of speaking about God have flourished in the Christian tradition. Failure to understand this has led to much confusion.

Reincarnation, the Soul and Resurrection

A brief summary of Biblical statements about life beyond death, and an explanation about why the church came to reject reincarnation.

The Nicene Creed

Study 1. Why this Creed was created. Belief in the Holy Trinity.

Study 2. Belief that Christ is truly divine, and yet has become truly human for us. Why does this matter?

Study 3. On the Holy Spirit, the one holy catholic and apostolic church, baptism and the resurrection of the dead.
