The Trinity (Works Of Saint Augustine Series)
John Rotelle (Ed), Edmund Hill (Trans), Saint AugustinePaperback 2016-01-01
In the first seven books Augustine searches the scriptures for clues to understanding the Trinity and then defends 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.
Publisher Description
"Father Hill has provided a splendid translation, made from a trustworthy Latin text, of what is for some of us the foundation work of Christian theology. He has fitted out his translation, clearly the best of the four that have been made into English, with notes that go well beyond the perfunctory and a 38-page introduction that is a delight to read." (Barry Ulanov, "Journal of Religion and Health")
