bennett suggests that if christians and muslims accept that their formulations about the nature of god are wholly true but do not express the whole truth about god, they might both say something important about god. "paradox", he says, such as that god is one but also a trinity, "could be … essential to the nature of god, who is at one and the same time transcendent and immanent, just and merciful, simple yet complex, singular yet possessing plural attributes, distinct from creation yet intimately involved in, and even present within, creation." thus, god might speak differently though different religions not "because god is playing a game or authoring confusion but to remind us that we cannot, while remaining human, grasp the totality of who god is." bennett refers to what he calls his "flirtation with unitarianism" although states that "over the years" his "faith has become firmly trinitarian."
