Quick takeaways
- The concept of the Trinity developed in the 4th century CE as a way to unify different ideas about the nature of Jesus and God found in the New Testament.
- The New Testament, including the Gospel of John, uses figurative language to describe the relationship between Jesus and God, highlighting Jesus' special relationship and manifestation of God's presence rather than explicitly stating that Jesus is God in the same sense as the Trinity.
Deep dives
Development of the Trinity
The concept of the Trinity developed in the 4th century CE. It was a result of the need to unify various ideas about the nature of Jesus and God found in the New Testament. The Council of Nicaea in 325 CE established the idea of consubstantiality, asserting that God the Father and Jesus the Son are of the same substance and equal. This unifying framework was imposed by the institutional power of the church and the Roman Empire.
