 Why do you think Fedorov made such a statement?

            The doctrine of the Holy Trinity, rather than being a recondite subject reserved for professional scholars, is something that has an immense practical importance for each individual Christian. All people are caught up in the struggle between good and evil. As Vladimir Lossky writes epigrammatically of this struggle, “Between the Trinity and hell, there is no other choice.” Also, man is created in the image and likeness of God, and it is only through a correct understanding of the dogma of the Trinity that human beings can understand who they are and what their Creator wants them to be. People's private lives depend on this understanding, as do their personal relations with their fellow human beings. It was for these reasons that Fedorov could define the Orthodox social program as the dogma of the Holy Trinity.
