Man's Need of the Trinity

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  30 August 2024

Extract

All revelation is God's response to our needs. All his truth is saving truth. It answers to the needs of our salvation, of our healing and our health, health of soul and body, of mind and will, both here and in eternity. The truths which he has revealed are not like hurdles in a steeplechase, which are set to test us during the race, but which bear no other relation to the winning post and the prize. The man, well-known to readers of Frank Sheed's Theology and Sanity, who said of the Trinity that he ‘wished there were four of ‘em, that he might believe more of ‘em', no doubt had the purest faith and charity, but his words do not express the true Christian attitude. Again, none of the revealed truths is an optional extra, which can be embraced by a few specialists but is of no particular relevance to the ordinary Christian.
