trinities 329 - Dr. Joshua Sijuwade on divine identity

https://trinities.org/blog/podcast-329-dr-joshua-sijuwade-on-divine-identity/ Dr. Richard Bauckham has urged, especially in his book Jesus and the God of Israel, that everywhere in the New Testament Jesus is taught to “have the divine identity” or to “belong to the identity of God” or to be “included in the divine identity.” Such language has widely proliferated in recent evangelical scholarship.

In a 2013 article to which Dr. Bauckham has never responded, I pointed out that the meaning of this new language is unclear, and that various interpretations run into serious problems.

But of course those were not the only possible interpretations. In his 2020 article “Elucidating Divine Identity” Dr. Joshua Sijuwade suggests that a certain conception of essence can clarify in what sense the biblical Jesus “belongs to the identity of” God. In this episode we discuss his ideas in this article.

In your view, do Dr. Sijuwade’s suggestions clarify Dr. Backham’s claim that Jesus “belongs to the identity” of God? Why or why not?
