Start at John 1:1 Jenny?
You could start earlier, in the beginning proper, as it were.../w Genesis. Truth be told, the trinity is speckled throughout the entirety of the new and old testaments. Though the word itself doesn't appear...it's just a term for the consequences to belief that certain statements made about god in the text lead to. There's no chapter or verse called The Trinity, but there doesn't need to be, because that's just the name that christians came up with to refer to a proposed solution to a rational objection that some of them apparently had.
The trinity is, essentially, a defense against an objection regarding non-contradiction and those comments made in the text. All things being equal, I kind of admire the effort. 3 persons, one nature. If the contents of the text are all simultaneously true, then a trinity is one way to explain what might seem, to some, to be disparities in the text at first sight.
Quote:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.I mention this one as it's one of my personal favorites. Trinity by route of John is artful, regardless of whether or not it's true.
