Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of writing on the Trinity, indicating a renewal of ideas and debate concerning this key element of Christian theology. This introduction challenges the standard account of a decline and revival in Trinitarian theology, taking into account recent, alternative readings of the theological tradition by Lewis Ayres and Michel Barnes amongst other scholars. By clearly analysing the scope of these new approaches, the authors establish the importance of a considered understanding of the Trinity, resisting the notion of separating faith and reason and identifying theology's link to spirituality. Their account also eschews the easy stereotypes of Western Christianity's supposedly more Unitarian approach as opposed to the more Trinitarian view of the East. Offering an overview of the main people and themes in Trinitarian theology past and present, this book thus provides an accessible, comprehensive guide for students and scholars alike.

Une des tâches les plus urgentes pour les chrétiens soucieux d'offrir à leur foi l'hommage d'une pensée qui en respecte le mystère et la spécificité consiste à en assumer, de manière renouvelée, la détermination centrale qui la qualifie comme monothéisme trinitaire. De la foi chrétienne, le mystère de la Trinité exprime l'audace conjointe quant à la vérité de Dieu et quant à la vérité de l'homme. Il en commande aussi les équilibres les plus délicats. L'urgence naît d'un double défi : celui qui vient du dialogue avec les grandes religions et de l'attrait grandissant des sagesses hénologiques et des (ré)enchantements polythéistes ; celui qui vient des évaluations critiques du rôle joué par le christianisme dans le champ de l'imaginaire et des institutions politiques en Occident. Le présent volume reprend les contributions de la session théologique organisée en 1990 aux Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, dans le cadre de l'École des sciences philo­sophiques et religieuses. L'ensemble, composé d'approches multiples et de perspectives nova­trices, se veut une contribution à ce travail. On pourra y mesurer l'avancée et l'approfondissement de la perspective pneumatologique déjà opérante dans plusieurs sessions précédentes publiées dans la même collection.

An appropriate motto for Augustine's great work On the Trinity is 'faith in search of understanding'. In this treatise Augustine offers a part-theological, part-philosophical account of how God might be understood in analogy to the human mind. On the Trinity can be fairly described as the first modern philosophy of mind: it is the first work in philosophy to recognize the 'problem of other minds', and the first to offer the 'argument from analogy' as a response to that problem. Other subjects that it discusses include the nature of the mind and the nature of the body, the doctrine of 'illumination', and thinking as inner speech. This volume presents the philosophical section of the work, and in a historical and philosophical introduction Gareth Matthews places Augustine's arguments in context and assesses their influence on later thinkers.

This book presents a critical evaluation of the doctrine of the Trinity, tracing its development and investigating the intellectual, philosophical and theological background that shaped this influential doctrine of Christianity. Despite the centrality of Trinitarian thought to Christianity and its importance as one of the fundamental tenets that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam, the doctrine is not fully formulated in the canon of Christian scriptural texts. Instead, it evolved through the conflation of selective pieces of scripture with the philosophical and religious ideas of ancient Hellenistic milieu. Marian Hillar analyzes the development of Trinitarian thought during the formative years of Christianity from its roots in ancient Greek philosophical concepts and religious thinking in the Mediterranean region. He identifies several important sources of Trinitarian thought heretofore largely ignored by scholars, including the Greek middle-Platonic philosophical writings of Numenius and Egyptian metaphysical writings and monuments representing divinity as a triune entity.
