Abstract

(excerpt)

Christians affirm that God is ‘three persons in one substance.’ Accounts of how this could be so sort into two types: (a) ‘social Trinitarian’ views, which start from the ‘three persons’ part of the Trinitarian formula, and then try to explain the substantial unity of the Trinity, and (b) ‘substance Trinitarian’ views, which start from the ‘one substance’ part of the Trinitarian formula, and then try to explain the personal threefoldness of the Trinity.
