Episode 16 - Light of Light

In this sixteenth episode, we consider why the Creed speaks of God as Light, and how this phrase affirms both the full divinity of the Son, and His Oneness with the Father through the use of what Fr. John McGuckin calls "buttressing synonyms" (The Path of Christianity, page 302). Length: 8 minutes, 30 seconds
