Those who condemned the way Arius explained the Trinity readily conceded that it was not easy to express or understand “the single divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” as one church historian puts it, “within an equal majesty and an orthodox Trinity.”16 That is exactly why the whole idea is referred to as “the mystery of Trinity.” Even Augustine, who participated in the struggle against Arianism, concedes in The Confessions that he has not penetrated the mystery—“the Trinity appears unto me,” he writes, “in a glass darkly”—and he doubts that anybody else has a much better grasp. “Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity?” he shrugs. “Rare is the soul which while it speaks of It, knows what it speaks of.”17
