Which term related to Christian doctrine did Tertullian first use in Latin?
Sacrament
Diocese
Baptism
Trinity
Answer
Trinity, a central Christian doctrine, refers to the three divine persons—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet they exist as one being. This concept was first introduced in Latin by Tertullian, a prominent theologian from the 2nd and 3rd centuries. He coined the term "trinitas" to describe the unity and distinction within the Godhead, shaping Christian theology and language.
