Section 20
* Though not central to the present discussion, it should nevertheless be noted that some paradoxes involve keeping more than two lines of teaching in tension. The doctrine of of the Trinity, for example, involves three separate teachings which must be kept in undivided tension if we are to do justice to the biblical record. Incidentally, it is only in this perfect tension that we see profound unity in the Godhead. It is the example of par excellence of complex simplicity. This is called specializing, and I have my reservations about it even in the technical sciences.
