According to LeRon Shults, “The point of the doctrine of perichoresis is that in the Trinity, person-hood and relation-to-other are not separated as they are in us.”4 The Father and the Son and the Spirit retain genuine separable identities while at the same time they are so related to one another that one can’t be known without the other. Relationality, in other words, is inherent to who God is.5
