Appeal is often made to the doctrine of the Trinity, yet confusion prevails concerning historic Christian orthodoxy’s teaching on the subject and how it squares with the biblical witness. Within this series, I will present a critique of the family of positions referred to as ‘social Trinitarianism’, where many of these areas of confusion are to be found.

The Trinity in the OT, the Faith of OT Believers, the Angel of the Lord
A number of years ago there was a lot of debate in certain circles in the UK revolving around these topics: the degree to which Christ/the Trinity is explicitly present in the OT; the nature of the Angel of the Lord; relatedly the object of believers’ faith in the OT (did OT saints trust consciously and explicitly in the Son?); the degree to which revelation is progressive from the OT to the NT. A lot of these threads were explored in the Blackham-Goldsworthy debate: http://www.theologian.org.uk/bible/blackham.html
What are your views on these topics? Some more specific questions might be:

– How were OT believers saved? Through explicit faith in the Son, or through other means?
– Who is the Angel of the Lord?
