Are there any reputable scholars who support the idea that the doctrine of the Trinity was influenced by Philo? This seems like a strong argument that Christian theology was simply a development of Greek philosophy rather than a divine revelation. Yet, I can’t seem to find any solid material on this. Which makes me think there’s something I’m missing and this perhaps a weak argument.
Those who write about Philo and the Trinity are all over the map.
On this page I have two posts, one with references on Genesis 1:26, one on the Trinity

Philo, the Trinity and Genesis 1:26

Notice that the earlier writers, Grotius, Allix, Ceasar Morgan, John Jones, Coneybeare might be more helpful and interesting than the more recent scholarship.
