Giveness and Revelation takes in wide historical horizons. For Marion the uniqueness of the doctrine of the Trinity lies in its revelation of a unity consisting in love, "put into operation as communion". He counters the protest that Christianity betrays the monotheism of the other Abrahamic religions by arguing that Trinitarian theology discloses a unity "well beyond the empty unicity of numeration".
