I have been reading much of James Jordan, mainly on his website at www.biblicalhorizons.com, and rereading Douglas Wilson's The Case for Classical Christian Education. As I have been blown-away by Jordan's commentary and convinced by Wilson's case, I've been mulling over Jordan's Trinity and Wilson's Trivium. It would seem that there is a connection/correspondence between them. The grammatical stage of the Trivium would be connected to the Father, who provides all the "grammatical" structures of the Old Testament. The dialectic stage of the Trivium would be connected to the Son from the Gospels who provides the "dialectic" of all the "grammatical" structures of the OT. And the rhetoric stage of the Trivium would be connected to the Spirit who shows the true meaning in the New Testament of all that has preceded in the Scriptures. I don't mean this is any strict sense, but the relation seems to work and make sense.
