The doctrine of the Trinity does not appear explicitly in the New Testament (indeed not even the word itself is found there), but there are many passages that believers in it point to as implying it.
The doctrine of the Trinity as it exists today developed over the centuries as a result of many controversies, such as Arianism, Sabellianism?, and Adoptionism?. These controversies were often settled at the Ecumenical Councils, whose creeds affirm the doctrine of the Trinity.
Most Christian groups believe in the Trinity, but some do not, including: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Jehovah's Witnesses, [Oneness Pentecostals]? and Unitarian Universalists.
Despite this concept of the Trinity, Christianity is considered a monotheistic faith, though many theologians of other monotheistic faiths such as Judaism and Islam have found the concepts difficult to reconcile.
In the religion Dianic Wicca as well as other branches of Neopaganism, trinity refers to the Maiden, Mother and Crone (or Virgin, Mother and Crone), three versions of the Goddess and the three stages of a woman's life. This concept is itself derived from much earlier mythologies such as the multi-faceted aspect of Morrigan in Irish mythology and Frigg in Norse mythology. Trinity is also used by Egyptologists? to describe the Ancient Egypt deities Osiris?, Isis?, and Horus?.
Many Neopagans' concept of all Gods and Goddesses as aspects of a single divine being is very similar to the Christian concept of the Trinity, but Neopaganism is not considered monotheistic.
Trinity was also the name of the world's first atomic bomb (explosion) test in the Nevada desert.
Trinity is also the name of the central female character in the film The Matrix
