About this listen
In this podcast episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores how early Jewish and Christian thinkers used scriptural interpretation and philosophical ideas to understand the divine nature of Jesus. It addresses the puzzles of God’s oneness and two persons called ‘God’—Elohim and YHWH—examining the theological tensions this created.
He highlights how spaces in the Jewish thought-world at the time of Jesus—such as varying views on the heavenly realm, divine titles, and messianic figures—made room for interpreting Jesus as a divine being worthy of worship.
