"This book presents a critical evaluation of the doctrine of the Trinity, tracing
its development and investigating the intellectual, philosophical, and theological
background that shaped this influential doctrine of Christianity. 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"--
