Trinity As Archetype of Primordial Peace

"One finds in Christianity the ‘precise opposite of nihilism – a creed which rigorously excludes all violence from its picture of the original, intended, and final state of the cosmos’ (TST, 288). This stems frist from the doctrine of the Trinity, the arche in which we confess ‘a multiple which is not set dialectically over against the one, but itself manifests unity’ (TST, 376)."
