Abstract: | Sabellianism, the doctrine that the Persons of the Trinity are roles that a single divine being plays either simultaneously
or successively, is commonly thought to entail that the Father is the Son. I argue that there is at least one version of Sabellianism
that does not have this result and meets the requirements for a minimally decent doctrine of the Trinity insofar as it affirms
that each Person of the Trinity is God and that the Trinity of Persons is God while maintaining monotheism without undermining
the distinctness of Persons.
I am grateful for comments by participants at the Society of Christian Philosophers 2000 meeting and University of San Diego
Philosophy colloquium at which earlier versions of this paper were read, and by anonymous referees for this journal. |
