Systematic Theology
Love and the Necessity of the Trinity
An analytic-theology argument, adapted from Joshua Sijuwade’s 2021 article in the journal Religions, for why a single divine person who is perfect love would necessarily generate two others. Four parts: the classical "Argument from Love," the philosophical tools needed to ground it in more than intuition, what is empirically revealed about God and love, and how the generation of exactly three persons follows.
