Compare Luke 4:29-30
Jesus’ pronouncement here that he and his Father are “one” is one of the bases for the doctrine of the Trinity. I’ll argue in a forthcoming article for Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture that some contemporary Catholic and Protestant theologians are drawing closer to Mormon understandings of the Godhead via other, and arguably much better, ways of understanding that “oneness.”
I discussed an important part of John 10 in an article published a few years back by the Maxwell Institute, entitled “‘Ye are Gods’: Psalm 82 and John 10 as Witnesses to the Divine Nature of Humankind.”
More recently, Daniel O. McLellan has published an article with Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture (“Psalm 82 in Contemporary Latter-day Saint Tradition”) that, I know, he regards as (in part) a corrective to my piece. I may yet respond to him — although I don’t actually think that we’re all that far apart.
