Welcome

Briefly and simply stated, representational research looks at the way that the triadic or Trinitarian nature of God is reflected in reality; which has the part you can see, the part you can’t see, and links between the two which are provided by God.

The representations of God, most specifically seen in the Bible, are also triadic. They not only define what is truly real, they are able to actually formulate the facts of reality for us.

Representational thinkers use the skill of generalizing from Biblical passages to elevate Biblical thought forms above their own human intelligence, and above human experience whether individual or collective.

A foundational doctoral dissertation in the field of Representational Research by Dr. Diana Lynn Vaugh Swihart is downloadable here. In it, Dr. Swihart explores triadicity and uses it to assess one of the earliest questions about Christian theology: Is a human being composed of two parts (body and spirit/soul) or three?
