		Ironically, there is no group that claims to believe in or teach tritheism; the term is solely used as an accusation against others, somewhat similar to the usage of the word "cult".
		The principal writer was John Philoponus, the great Aristotelean commentator; the leaders were two bishops, Conon of Tarsus and Eugenius of Seleucia in Isauria, who were deposed by their comprovincials and took refuge at Constantinople where they found a powerful convert and protector in Athanasius the Monk, a grandson of the Empress Theodora.
		John Philoponus, an Aristotelian and monophysite in Alexandria about the middle of the sixth century, was charged with tritheism because he saw in the Trinity as separated three natures, substances and deities, according to the number of divine persons.

	Tritheism and Christian Faith - by Ralph Allan Smith
		In this essay, I will introduce various notions of tritheism and indicate how my own beliefs differ, demonstrating that the only sense in which I could be accused of tritheism is the sense in which Karl Barth might charge the theology of Van Til with inchoate or implicit tritheism.
		View 3 is a special definition of tritheism that one might or might not hold along with a view that could fall under the definitions 4 and 5.
		Rhee sees this as proof that Warfield’s view of the Trinity tends toward tritheism because for Warfield the subordination in the mode of operation among the Persons of the Trinity is not grounded in the ontology of Father and Son, but in a covenant.

	Christian Heresies of the Second Century
		Tritheism: There are three Gods, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, against the Trinity.
		Tritheism is the teaching that the Godhead is really three separate beings forming three separate gods.
		In the early church the Christians were accused of being tritheists by those who either refused to understand or could not understand the doctrine of the Trinity.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		Tritheism holds that there are three Gods rather than three personal distinctions in one God.
		The triple point is incompatible with tritheism because, at the triple point, there are not three phases in the sense of taking steam, ice, and water from separate locations and combining them mechanically.
		There is unity of essence at the triple point, with the phases tied to each other at a particular set of thermodynamic conditions.

	Trinitarianism: Modified Tritheism
		Scripture often seems to portray Father, Son, and Spirit as three separate beings without any hint of a unity of persons in one essence as is taught by Trinitarianism.
		Insisting on seeing the distinctions between Father, Son, and Spirit as distinctions of divine persons within one essence in turn necessitated the redefining of "one" to mean unity, rather than a numerical oneness.
		Oneness theology naturally accounts for the distinction passages while Trinitarianism has to go into elaborate explanations of God’s nature which are not found in the Scripture, propagate a construct of God’s nature which tends toward Tritheism, and purport a teaching that is said to be so incomprehensible that no one can ever understand it.

	John Philoponus (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Besides monophysitism, Philoponus' name is associated with the doctrine of tritheism.
		However, one needs to be aware of an important difference: Whereas monophysitism was a reputable and powerful theological movement in the Eastern church, tritheism was little more than a hostile label given to certain intellectuals who tried to make the mystery of the Trinity intelligible in philosophical language.
		Philoponus was one such intellectual who, again, resorted to Aristotelian terminology to clarify and settle the trinitarian dispute.

	What is the Trinity
		While we must guard against separating the three personages (tritheism) we must also be aware of the flaw of their being numerically one, they are Distinct but not separate.
		The traditional doctrine called the perichoresis means the mutual indwelling of the three persons, in that each person permeates the other being united in substance.
		That if God were deduced to a mathematical formulae he would not be 1+1+1=3 which would be tritheism, but would be 1x1x1=1, a unified one.
