The Three-Personed God

The Holy and Triune God. What is specific to Christian belief is the person of Jesus and the event of his life, death and resurrection. In this particularity is rooted faith in the one and triune God, the feast we celebrate today.

Christian faith first came to deal with the triadic understanding of God in the history of salvation as a matter of sheer fact. This doctrine did not arise out of idle speculation about the Supreme Being, nor out of an attempt by logical thinking to explain to itself what the fountain of all being was like.
