The Gift of Love: Augustine, Jean-Luc Marion, and the Trinity (Emerging Scholars)

The Gift of Love builds upon recent scholarship and reads Augustine' De Trinitate as a rational study of the limits of theological language and the possibility of knowing the Trinity because of those limits. Marion's description of the gift of love offers to Augustine's theology a phenomenological texture by which the trinitarian love given might be made incarnate in one's life. The Gift of Love presents a reason for hope that the signification of "the Trinity that God is," while impossible for human beings is not impossible for God.
