The Trinity and an Entangled World

Twentieth-Century science discovered that the physical world is profoundly relational-that, thanks to the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, there is a holistic connectivity at the deepest level of physical reality. This new way of comprehending the universe-which brings to mind the mystery at the heart of Trinitarian theology-has inspired thirteen distinguished scholars from physics and theology to explore the role of relationality in both science and religion.
