Abstract Roughly, the problem of the Trinity is the problem of how God can be oneand yet be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which are three, not one. Thatone thing is identical with three distinct things seems to violate traditional laws ofidentity. I propose a solution to this problem according to which it is just an ordinaryclaim of one-many identity. For example, one pair of shoes is identical with twoshoes; and my one body is identical with its six limbs of arms, legs, head, and torso.The pair of shoes is not identical with each one of the two shoes, nor is my bodyidentical with each one of its six limbs, but rather identical with all of them takentogether, or collectively. I argue that the problem of the Trinity should be understoodaccordingly: God is identical with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spiritcollectively, but not with each one of them distributively. According to the way Idevelop this proposal, no traditional laws of identity are violated, but merelygeneralized in an intuitive way. I argue that this is compatible with ChristianOrthodoxy as given by the Athanasian Creed. I end by responding to someanticipated objections.
