    Sam,

    "If Platonism's first principles seemed to lose reason and value rather than grounding them, it was because the first principle must contain reason and value within itself. If classical wisdom had turned away from society and classical culture had turned away from wisdom, it was time for a Christian wisdom to set things right. Therefore, if Pirsig has reminded us that we face many of the same questions, it will be worth our while to look at Augustine's answers-and that leads us to the Trinity."  

    Marsha:  ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    "It would be foreign to the spirit of Augustinian theology to try to "prove" the doctrine of the Trinity, which he would rightly insist one can come to know only by faith. At a time when many Christians treat the Trinity as utterly abstract and rather silly, however, it does seem appropriate to note how relevant it is to some very contemporary concerns. At least we should not be too eager to relegate it to the rubbish heap of discarded dogmas." 

    Marsha:  It is rather silly.
