Tritheism (from Greek τριθεΐα, "three divinity") is a polytheistic nontrinitarian Christian conception of God in which the unity of the Trinity and, by extension, monotheism are denied.
== Theology == Tritheism asserts that, rather than being single God of three eternally consubstantial Persons, the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit are three ontologically separate Gods. It represents more of a "possible deviation" than any actual school of thought positing three separate deities. It was usually "little more than a hostile label" applied to those who emphasized the individuality of each hypostasis or divine person—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—over the unity of the Trinity as a whole.
