Excellent synopsis of the 2016 Trinitarian debate.

IMO, while Ware and Grudem offered sophisticated-sounding theological language in their support of the hierarchy, it did nothing but show the departure from Nicaea and Chalcedon.

Additionally, I believe the NT is abundantly clear that there is only one will (thelema) in God- and it is always singular.

"The Father that sent me is greater than I"

How has classical trinitarianism generally interpreted this in a way that doesn't imply subordinationism?

It says that the Son is equal to the Father according to his divinity and less than the Father according to his humanity.
