Western Christians often despair of finding meaning in the paradoxical statement that God is both 'One' and 'Three.' The problem, says Jung Young Lee, is not with the doctrine of the Trinity itself; rather, it is with the Western conceptual tendency to view reality in exclusive, 'either/or' terms. The Asian philosophical construct of yin and yang can offer a way out of this problem, with its inherently 'both/and' way of thinking. Drawing on a variety of East Asian religious traditions, Lee offers a creative reinterpretation of this central Christian doctrine.
