Godhead Theology

Book excerpt: Godhead Theology is a study of Christian Godhead theology. Beginning during the lifetime of the apostles of our Lord, the identity of Jesus was challenged: Was He God or not? In Godhead Theology Bishop Jerry Hayes follows that debate through the first 300 years of the Church's history. Our book is in five sections: Section One is the history of the early Church from A. D. 100 to 400 and demonstrates Modalistic Monarchianism as the original orthodoxy of the Chruch; Section Two introduces the Apostolic Creed and establishes its purpose; Section Three is an affirmation of Modalistic Monarchianism; Section Four is Modalism's responses to objection from the pluralist: Trinitarians, Binitarians, Arians and Semi-Arians. Included are two comprehensive indexes: Subject Index and Scripture Index.
