Historic Christianity insists that New Testament authors indubitably describe God as three distinct but unified personae: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although absent from the Bible, the creedal term “Trinity” has become an essential doctrine, while also causing centuries of confusion and controversy among biblical scholars.
But, what about the Old Testament? The Trinity in Eden presents linguistic research on the oldest account in the Bible: the Primeval History from creation to the tower of Babel. The author concludes that the names of God, the plural pronouns of God, and the execration of the serpent together affirm that the concept of the Trinity is, at least, as old as the Bible itself.
