 In some scholarly circles it is taken as obvious that New Testament teaching is not trinitarian–that it neither asserts, nor implies, nor assumes anything about a tripersonal God (see e.g. Baber 2019, 148–56; Küng 1995, 95–6; see also  supplement on the history of Trinity doctrines, section 2).  But most analytic literature on the Trinity assumes the truth of an orthodox narrative about where Trinity theories come from. According to this, from the beginning Christians were implicitly trinitarian; that is, they held views which imply that God is a Trinity, but typically did not realize this or have adequate language to express it. By at least the late 300s, they had gained enough new language and/or concepts to express what they had been committed to all along.
