This paper discusses how the possibility of multi-located entities can resolve problems both with the Trinity (i.e. there being one God and three divine people, or the Father knowing things that the numerically identical Son does not) and with the existence of souls. Something is multi-located if and only if it is exactly located at two or more places at the same time. Hudson (2010) and Pruss (2009) have already discussed how multi-location can solve certain Christian theological difficulties. This paper adds to that corpus by bringing multi-location to bear, primarily, on the Doctrine of the Trinity, and, secondarily, on issues to do with substance dualism. §1-2 discuss the Doctrine of the Trinity. §1 introduces some basic ideas about the metaphysics of multi-location and shows how they can solve an initial problem with the Doctrine: that God both does and does not know the day of Judgement; §2 then extends these thoughts about multi- location to provide a Latin understanding of the Trinity. By the end of those two sections I will have demonstrated that at least one defence of understanding the Trinity is available to the Christian. §3 shows how similar moves can be made with regards to our souls: we are entities multi- located both in spacetime (and so are physical) and some atemporal realm (and so are also substance dualistic souls). This helps both with making substance dualism consistent with the findings of contemporary science and with making the theory consistent with scripture. 1. The Trinity and Multi-Location 1.1 The Trinity The Doctrine of the Trinity holds that God is three different people (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) as laid down in the Athanasian Creed. Start with one immediate problem: in Matthew 24:36, Jesus says of the Day of Judgement: 'But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.' Given that, we should believe:
