What Is the Significance of the Trinity?

We better understand God when we better understand the Trinity.

Overview

At the very heart of Christian belief is a concept called the Trinity. It's so central that one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century, Karl Barth, said, "Trinity is the Christian name for God." God is a Trinity of three in one, co-equal and yet distinct, called the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This study will ask: What does it mean that God is a trinity? Why do we believe it? Where do we find it in the Bible? Is this philosophical nonsense or vital to our understanding of God? What difference can the doctrine of a triune God make in our lives?
