'The Trinity and the Vindication of Christian Paradox' grapples
with the question of how one may hold together the ideals of
systematic theology, apologetic proof, and theological paradox by
building on the insights of Cornelius Van Til. Van Til developed an
apologetic where one presupposes that the Triune God exists, and
then proves this Christian presupposition by demonstrating that
philosophies that deny it are self-defeating in the specific sense
that they rely on principles that only the Trinity, as the ultimate
harmony of unity and diversity, can furnish. A question raised by
Van Til's trademark procedure is how he can evade the charge that
the apparent contradictions of the christian faith render it
equally self-defeating as non-Christian alternatives. This text
argues that for Van Til, Christian paradoxes can be differentiated
from genuine contradictions by the way that their apparently
opposing elements discernibly require one another, even as they
present our minds with an irresolvable conflict. And yet, Van Til
failed to sufficiently vindicate the central Christian paradox-the
doctrine of the Trinity-along the lines required by his system.
Hence, the present text offers a unique proof that God can only
exist as the pinnacle of unity-in-diversity, and as the ground of a
coherent Christian system, if He exists as three, and only three,
divine persons.
