| Summary: | Christian thinking about the name of the Trinity can be more adequate to the Scriptures and to the identity and mystery of the Trinity by becoming more genuinely trinitarian in character. The name of the Trinity is best understood as one name in three inflections. Each inflection designates all three persons of the Trinity, but in an idiom that is especially characteristic of one person. Thus, the divine name consists in the unity of three inflections that—like the persons of the Trinity—are irreducibly distinct yet inseparably related. This approach provides a fruitful way to frame two contemporary questions concerning the name of the Trinity. |
