In a volume originally
written in 1958, Wallace F. Bennett, a Latter-day Saint author, used the term “Trinity”
to describe the LDS belief in the Godhead, showing that LDS, even up to this period,
used “Trinity” as did Tertullian and others did—a triad and not in the
Latin/Creedal sense:
Like other Christians, the Mormons understand
that the Holy Ghost is the third member of the Trinity, or, as they say, the
Godhead. (Wallace F. Bennett, Why I am a
Mormon [3d ed.; Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1964], 222-23)
