Q&A 1545 – What is meant by "godhead"?
What is meant by the word "godhead"?
While many use "godhead" to stand for the trinity, the word actually means (only) divinity. In older English, god-head = god-hood. All three members of Trinity are divine, hence equal in nature. So godhood, or godhead, is divinity—a quality of Father, Son, and Spirit. The occasional Col 2:9 translation "godhead" I think obscures the basic meaning.
