I've learned two new thoughts on the Trinity in my reading in the last few months. One is from a book I've read multiple times and one from a book I've had for years and have just begun to read for the first time.
A.W. Tozer in The Knowledge of the Holy said, "The doctrine of the Trinity... is truth for the heart. The fact that it cannot be satisfactorily explained, instead of being against it, is in its favor. Such a truth had to be revealed; no one could have imagined it."
Francis Schaeffer in He Is There and He Is Not Silent, said, "I would still be an agnostic if there were no Trinity, because there would be no answers. Without the high order of personal unity and diversity as given in the Trinity, there are no answers." "...three Persons in existence, loving each other, and in communication with each other, before all else was. If this were not so, we would have a God who needed to create in order to love and communicate. In such a case, God would have needed the universe as much as the universe needed God. But God did not need to create; God does not need the universe as the universe needs Him. Why? Because we have a full and true Trinity. The Persons of the Trinity communicated with each other, and loved each other before the creation of the world."
