The doctrine of the eternal family is one of the most distinctive and compelling aspects of Latter-day Saint theology. In this study, we examine this vision with respect and openness, comparing it with the hopes found throughout the Abrahamic traditions and reflecting on the meaning of love, fidelity, and family communion within the eternal plan of GOD.
The Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas addresses some of the defining challenges of our age: artificial intelligence, human dignity, social justice, work, dialogue, and peace. In this series, Abrahamic Study Hall presents the full text together with an interfaith and spiritual commentary aimed at fostering understanding, responsibility, and reconciliation among peoples.
Among the New Testament passages that have generated the widest range of theological interpretations, Titus 2, 13 holds a particularly significant place. Its phrasing has played a crucial role in later Christological developments, especially within post-Nicene theology. Yet, when examined through a careful philological lens and situated within its original historical context, the verse reveals a structure far more restrained and consistent with early apostolic language.
In this study, Abrahamic Study Hall presents a full interlinear analysis of Titus 2:13, guiding the reader back to the foundational level of the text: its grammar, syntax, and the Semitic mindset underlying New Testament Greek. The phrase “the glory of the great GOD and of our Savior, Jesus Christ” is examined word by word, demonstrating that the conjunction and shared article do not necessarily imply a single referent. Rather, they reflect a common biblical pattern used to associate distinct figures within a shared salvific framework.
