Child’s Play

“A set having three members is a single thing
wholly constituted by its members but distinct from them.
After this, the theological doctrine of the Trinity as
‘three in one’ should be child’s play.”

  1. Hi Stephen:

    Have you seen Margaret Masterman's essay on a trinitarian diagram in Theoria to Theory?  I transcribed the relevant portions here:

  2. Hello Charles:

    No, I hadn't seen Masterman's essay, which is highly relevant.
    Thank you for the link.

    See the footnote to my post today on the next higher dimension:

    "Cube to Tesseract," http://m759.net/wordpress/?p=24955 .
