Tertullian Introduced the term Trinity (-Theophilius to Autolycus - 115-181)-
introduced the word Trinity in his Book 2, chapter 15 on the creation of the
4th day) as the Latin trinitas, to the Christian vocabulary[2]
and also probably the formula "three Persons, one Substance" as the
Latin "tres Personae,
una
Substantia" (itself from the Koine Greek
"treis Hypostases, Homoousios"),
and also the terms vetus testamentum ("old testament") and novum
testamentum ("new testament").For Full article Open http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertullian
