Abstract

In this chapter, I use the language of category theory to address a relevant part of the Christian Trinitarian doctrine. Using a categorical conceptual apparatus usual to mathematicians, it is possible to represent important points of Trinitarian theology and show that such discourse can be considered free of contradictions. Problems concerning the Trinity are therefore approached from a category theory perspective.
