Who Is the Holy Spirit? Eleven Questions from Scripture
Why did the Spirit of God descend as a dove? Eleven simple questions, each answered from Scripture, lead toward one of the central conclusions of Yona Tree's study of the Holy Spirit.
Begotten and Born: Reading the Nicene Creed Closely
The Nicene Creed is the most widely shared statement of Christian faith. Yona Tree affirms it — and respectfully proposes four clarifications, beginning with the difference between being begotten and being born.
Made in Our Image: The First Family and the Family of God
"Let us make man in our image." The first three people made in God's image were a father, a mother and a son. Yona Tree asks what that pattern reveals about the relationships within the Holy Trinity.
The Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Lost Son
A shepherd, a woman, a father. In Luke 15 Jesus tells three stories of something lost and found. Yona Tree reads them as a portrait of the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Father, each seeking the lost.
