What is the Trinity?
Short answer
The Trinity is the Christian belief that the one God exists eternally as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — distinct, but one in essence.
Deeper answer
The Trinity is not a contradiction — it is a mystery. It is the church's attempt to faithfully describe the God revealed in the Bible.
