St. Augustine on the Trinity, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

Hardcover. By faith, Augustine knows that God is Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and in this work, he seeks as far as possible to understand what he believes. In the first seven books, Augustine begins by searching the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments for clues to understanding and then argues in the language of philosophy and logic to defend the orthodox statement of the doctrine against the Arians. In the last eight books, Augustine seeks to understand the mystery of the divine Trinity by observing an analogous trinity in the image of God, which is the human mind; and in so doing, he also suggests a program for the serious Christian of spiritual self-discovery and renewal. Faith drives Augustine to probe the mystery of the Trinity by searching scripture and engaging philosophy to counter alternative views. His exploration links biblical insights with logical debate and reflects on the human mind as a mirror of the divine, inviting believers into profound spiritual self-discovery.
