The Trinity
When I set about to discuss the Trinity, that central Christian symbol, from the psychological perspective, I do so with the awareness that I am entering an area seemingly far removed from psychology. In my opinion though, religions, with all that they are and express, are so closely connected to the human soul that psychology least of all may disregard them. A notion like the Trinity belongs so much to the realm of theology that today, of the secular disciplines, history at most deals with it. People have even largely stopped thinking about dogma and specifically about a concept like the Trinity, which is so difficult to picture. There are actually very few Christians any more--not to mention the educated public in general--who seriously think about the meaning of the dogma and consider this concept a possible object of reflection.
