Hello,
I am trying to understand Calvin's view of the Trinity. He seems to dismiss the doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son and disagree with those who wrote the Nicene Creed. I have always liked the Nicene Creed...is there some deficiency within it where it unduly subordinates Christ to the Father? Would the Nicene Fathers have affirmed that the Son and the Spirit, too, are autotheos? What about the "eternal generation of the Son?"
Any links, books, articles on these topics? I am newly digging into this topic.
