God the Illeist: Third-Person Self-References and Trinitarian Hints in the Old Testament

God the Illeist: Third-Person Self-References and Trinitarian Hints in the Old Testament

  • Semi-Technical
  • Andrew S. Malone

This article reflects on attempts to discover hints of the Trinity in the Old Testament. Many scholars continue to promote the so-called “two Gods texts" as demonstrating something of the Old Testament plurality of God. Justin Martyr is an early exponent of a Trinitarian interpretation of such texts: 2 Samuel 7:11, Amos 4:11, Hosea 1:7, Zechariah 1:17, and Malachi 3:1. This article surveys these texts and their interpreters and continues by suggesting ways to interpret them.
