Despite the centrality of Trinitarian thought to Christianity and its importance as one of the fundamental tenets that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam, the doctrine is not fully formulated in the canon of Christian scriptural texts. Instead, it evolved through the conflation of selective pieces of scripture with the philosophical and religious ideas of ancient Hellenistic milieu. Marian Hillar analyzes the development of Trinitarian thought during the formative years of Christianity from its roots in ancient Greek philosophical concepts and religious thinking in the Mediterranean region. He identifies several important sources of Trinitarian thought heretofore largely ignored by scholars, including the Greek middle-Platonic philosophical writings of Numenius and Egyptian metaphysical writings and monuments representing divinity as a triune entity. 606 $aTrinity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aTrinity$xHistory of doctrines. 676 $a231/.044 686 $aREL102000$2bisacsh 700 $aHillar$b Marian$0478343 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778954403321 996 $aFrom logos to trinity$9264496 997 $aUNINA
