Tertullian was not the first word maybe so the concept of Godhead not at all.
WE do not need Tertullian to see the Triune God of the Bible who is Three yet One.
The one thing you do not know nor do I or anyone else for that matter is the Full Nature of God.
man is limited in his ability to comprehend ALL of GOD. We are given enough for:
1. righteous living
2. appropriate worship
We must approach the Godhead reverently and humbly. The concept of the Trinity is in the word of God even if the word" trinity" is not.

Amen, and I know Tertullian wasn't the first to declare as such although I have had that name tossed in explanation of who the originator was. Personally, I think the Church Father Theophilus of Antioch was the first to coin the "triune" concept by phrase. And I totally agree that God is "triune" by Nature. Whether it is 3 persons, 3 manifestations, or how Church Father Theophilus of Antioch explains that God had both the WORD and WISDOM/SPIRIT within Him and then utilized them for His Will. It is all Triune in Nature!
