Summary/Abstract: While older scholarship identified the earliest use of Trinitarian terminology near the middle of the first century (Ioan 7: 11; 2 Corinteni 13, 13; 1 Ioan 5, 7) in the books of New Testament canon, my newest study challenge this view. However, while affirming certain insights in this research, it is necessary to revisit them in light of the historical settings of the periplus of the salvation, starting with Genesis 1, 26-27 where it began. Here, and somewhere else (Genesis 18), we identify a not very clear expression of an Trinitarian reality, which take part on the creation of man and also on the hospitality of Abraham.
