"Griffith Thomas, the writer of the best exposition on Romans, said in his book, Principles of Theology, ‘‘The term Person is also sometimes objected to. It certainly must not be pressed too far, or it will lead to Tritheism ... While we are compelled to use terms like ‘substance’ and ‘Person,’ we are not to think of them as identical with what we understand as human substance and personality ... The truth of the experience of the Trinity is not dependent upon theological terminology.’’ Griffith Thomas also said that our human language is inadequate to explain this divine mystery. We lack the language, the utterance, and the terms. We are short of the proper understanding of this divine mystery." LS Genesis, Message 30

This seems to be the source: William Henry Griffith Thomas, The Principles of Theology (New York:Longmans, Green, & Co., 1930), p. 31.
