Trinity in the current

Keith Ward makes the following comments in the journal Philosophia Christi Vol. 18, No. 2, 2016, p. 280.:

The doctrine of the Trinity may sound rather complicated—but it is not after all surprising that human attempts to understand God should stretch the human mind as far as it can go. Despite these crude and faltering attempts to comprehend the threefold nature of God, it should not be forgotten that the idea of the Trinity is basically very simple. Christians worship God as the creator of the universe, always beyond and greater than the whole of creation. Christians worship God as one who enters into the universe, especially in the person of Jesus, to liberate persons from hatred and greed, and lead them to eternal life. Christians worship God as the Spirit who inspires, guides and strengthens the hearts and minds of created persons, and brings them into the closest loving union with God. God the sustainer of all creation, God revealed and known in the person of Jesus, and God active within human minds and hearts—all these are forms of the one true God. . . . Whatever their interpretations of the Trinity, these are the fundamental beliefs about God that all Christians share.18
