The mystery of God as Trinity stands at the center of the Christian faith. The radically Trinitarian shape of the church's faith has its origins in the post-Easter consciousness of Jesus' disciples. Through their experience of the paschal mystery of Jesus' death and resurrection, their perception of the mystery of God was profoundly reshaped. They came to understand, however strange it seemed to their Jewish monotheistic faith, that the unity of God implies a divine communion of life and love. Thus it was that the Christian conviction that God is somehow both Three and One emerged. It took root in the prayer and liturgy of the early Christian community. In the following centuries, it led to the articulation of the doctrine of the Trinity.
