Well, I think if we come to the Trinity as if we’re coming to a very bizarre algebraic equation, we’re simply not going to understand a lot of things about Christian theology, for the doctrine of the Trinity isn’t really a theological/algebraic equation we have to mentally assert to. We almost view it as a test that God is using to test our loyalty, where we have to say we believe that 1+1+1=1, or somehow we’re in trouble. In reality, I don’t think most Evangelicals (probably most Christians for that matter) really understand the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity. Now if you’re like me, chances are you grew up treating the Trinity as some sort of theological puzzle you just had to sort of get your mind around: “God is like 3 in 1, sort of like an egg: a yoke, an egg-white, and a shell.” Great: God is an egg. We have now come to book 4 of Mere Christianity, where Lewis takes his readers through a preliminary tour of Christian theology, most particularly, the doctrine of the Trinity and how it impacts how one views the world. It is now time to get back to my walk through of C.S.
