Reflection by early Christians on passages such as the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" and Paul the Apostle's blessing: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all", leading theologians across history in attempting to articulate the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, the New Testament contains a number of Trinitarian formulas, including Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:13, 1 Corinthians 12:4-5, Ephesians 4:4-6, 1 Peter 1:2 and Revelation 1:4-5.

1.2.1 Holy Spirit in later Christian theology. 1.1.1 Jesus in later Christian theology. The doctrine of the Trinity was first formulated among the early Christians and fathers of the Church as early Christians attempted to understand the relationship between Jesus and God in their scriptural documents and prior traditions. While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, the New Testament possesses a triadic understanding of God and contains a number of Trinitarian formulas. Nontrinitarian positions include Unitarianism, Binitarianism and Modalism. This doctrine is called Trinitarianism and its adherents are called trinitarians, while its opponents are called antitrinitarians or nontrinitarians. In this context, the three persons define who God is, while the one essence defines what God is. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity ( Latin: Trinitas, lit.'triad', from Latin: trinus "threefold") defines God as being one god existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial persons: God the Father, God the Son ( Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit - three distinct persons sharing one essence.
