ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Robert Jenson

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Robert Jenson! He was a really smart man who loved God and teaching people about Him.

Robert Jenson was a theologian, which means he studied and wrote about God and religion. He believed that God is a Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all at the same time. It's kind of like a person who is a mom, a daughter, and a friend all at the same time!

Jenson also believed that God created the world and everything in it, including you and me! He thought that everything in the world shows how amazing and powerful God is.

But Jenson knew that there are bad things in the world too, like sickness and hurt. He believed that those things were not part of God's original plan but happened because of sin. Sin is when people don't do what is right and good, and it brought bad things into the world.

Despite all the bad things, Jenson believed that God loves us so much that He sent His own Son, Jesus, to come to earth and save us from our sins. Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sins, but then He rose again from the dead, showing that He has power over death and sin!

So, that's a quick summary of what Robert Jenson taught about God and religion. He had lots of other ideas too, but hopefully, that gives you a good idea of who he was and what he believed.
