How did we get the doctrine of the trinity?

For many people, the doctrine of the Trinity is confusing. Why would people in the early church come to the conclusion that God was one and that God was three? Why proclaim something so strange and hard to understand? In this video, we explore why this doctrine developed. Sarah argues that the theologians in the fourth century who developed the Trinitarian language many Christians still use did so because they thought that language aligned with what was revealed about God and salvation in the Bible.
