Trinity
In Christian theology, the unity of God's being in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is also referred to as the Trinity.
Die Lehre von der Dreifaltigkeit ist ein zentrales Glaubensgeheimnis des Christentums.
The doctrine of the Trinity is a central mystery of faith in Christianity.
The word is composed of 'drei' (three) and the suffix '-faltigkeit', which describes multiplicity or being made up of several parts. So it literally means a 'three-foldness' or a unity consisting of three parts.
Die Dreifaltigkeit ist ein komplexes theologisches Konzept.
The Trinity is a complex theological concept.
As a theological concept, 'Dreifaltigkeit' (Trinity) is used almost exclusively in the singular and with the definite article 'die'. A plural form practically does not exist.
Im Religionsunterricht sprachen wir über die Dreifaltigkeit.
In religion class, we talked about the Trinity.
This word is often used in fixed phrases within a religious context. Typical phrases are 'an die Dreifaltigkeit glauben' (to believe in the Trinity) or 'die Lehre von der Dreifaltigkeit' (the doctrine of the Trinity).
Viele Christen glauben an die heilige Dreifaltigkeit.
Many Christians believe in the Holy Trinity.
Triassic / triad
'Trias' and 'Dreifaltigkeit' both have to do with a group of three. 'Trias' is a more general term for three closely connected things or people and is used in various specialist fields. 'Dreifaltigkeit', on the other hand, is a religious term from Christianity and refers to God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The words can be confused because both express a kind of 'three'. In a normal religious context, however, you say 'Dreifaltigkeit'. 'Trias' only fits when a group made up of three parts is meant in a general or technical sense.
