Tenses of Eternal Generation (SPT13)

The begetting of the Son is eternal, having no beginning or end. But what temporal tense helps us grasp it? Is it best to say the Son was eternally begotten, or is being eternally begotten? Sanders and Hurd talk through the Leiden Synopsis' account of these issues.

You make a mockery of scripture

No such biblical phrase as eternal generation

[@Rhuanjl]

Nor does the Bible contain the phrase: "biblical phrase".
The bible describes the Son of God (i) as eternal AND it describes him as (ii) begotten or generated from the Father. (i) + (ii) = Eternal Generation.
