The human being is a bio-socio-cultural non-generic
triunity. Similar to the structure of the Holy Trinity "the human person consists in three different persons.
This "God in all and all in God" suggests a divinity irreducible to unitary simplicity or self-contained
triunity. The [phrase omitted] of the incarnation expresses an intimate cosmological vastness.
Twice the size of
Triunity Montessori's old digs, the approximately 30,000-square-foot structure was designed specifically to meet the school's needs and those of its students.
"The Christian God is," writes Kallistos Ware, "not just a unit but a union, not just unity but community." (39) The

He analyzes and critiques various understandings of perichoresis--first in the writings of the Greek Fathers and then in the trinitarian theology of Jurgen Moltmann, Catherine LaCugna, and Richard Kearney: nature-perichoresis (the incarnation); person-perichoresis (the divine
triunity); and reality-perichoresis (the God-world relation).

Triunity," in The Pillar and the Ground of Truth, 14-52.
Moreover, the Christian tradition holds such assimilation to be possible because it reflects the underlying reality of God's perichoretic
triunity. This grounding of creation in God, that is in a personal reality, as a creative and redeeming presence, ensures the world is open to personal intervention, indeed to a "new creation." As Colin Gunton expresses this: "Time and space are given their distinctive dynamic of interrelatedness by God's creating, upholding, redeeming and perfecting activity." (33)
Tertullian had started the church down that road with his Latin treatises on essence, existence, personhood, unity, and
triunity, leading to the controversy over homoousia and homoiousia that preset the agenda of Nicea.
This is so much more the case that even the personality based on relativity turns out to be for Augustine only an embarrassingly weak linguistic compensation for the ineffable
triunity of the God.
