 Beau Branson (2019) explores these claims as constituting “the logical problem of the Trinity”: each Person “is God”, they are distinct from one another, and yet there is only one thing which “is God”. These provide materials for a formidable argument against any doctrine that entails those seven claims. He argues that all possible non-heretical solutions to that problem either equivocate on the predicate “is God” (roughly: what are called “social” theories, discussed in sections 2.2–7) or insist that divine Persons must be counted by some relation other than “absolute” or “classical” identity (i.e. relative identity theories as discussed in section  2.1).
