'This work on the Trinity is not a work in the field of Christian theology only, since trinitarian formulae appear not only in the Christian tradition but in many, if not all, of the world's religious traditions. Nor is this a work in the field of religions only, since there is something ineluctaly trinitarian about human experience in general...." (Chapter 1)
