#Overview

This chapter grounds confession in who God is before moving into what God has done; it belongs early in any doctrinal encyclopedia.

The doctrine of God, his attributes, and his triune being.

#God's being and attributes

This chapter gives the wiki a direct place to explain who God is before turning to what he does.

#Trinity and personhood

The article should preserve the unity of the divine essence and the distinction of the three persons without trying to compress the doctrine into a slogan.
