Is The Trinity, Really The Trinity? In Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost the dual acknowledgement between the holy and unholy trinity is accounted for, while more emphasis is placed on the unholy trinity than the holy trinity. Though in the theological standpoint a certain trio stand outs above all others- the trio of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The holy trinity is very symbolic in the Bible.
