The Trinity

by St. Augustine, John E. Rotelle (Editor), Edmund Hill (Translator)

Overview

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.

What People are Saying About This

Very Rev. Stephen T. Rehrauer

Fr. Billy clearly and systematically explains how we can deepen our relationship with Christ by learning from Mary. He shows us how to incorporate into our own lives the personal qualities that make her a true model for all believers: Discipleship, Doctrine and Devotion. I highly recommend this book. --Very Rev. Stephen T. Rehrauer, C.Ss.R. Redemptorist Provincial Superior, Denver Province

Most Rev. Michael Brehl

Fr. Billy goes beyond the image of Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, to help us discover the disciple who becomes the Mother of God, and Mother of the Church. Through this beautiful Icon, Mary reveals to us the meaning of discipleship, Incarnation and loving devotion. May Fr. Billy's writing help us to deepen our relationship with Mary, and through her, with her Son, Jesus the Redeemer. --Most Rev. Michael Brehl, C.Ss.R. Redemptorist Superior General, Rome

Rev. John Kingsbury

If you want to expand your personal spiritual reflections on Mary of Nazareth, then this is the book for you! --Rev. John Kingsbury, C.Ss.R., D.Min. Coordinator, Conference of Redemptorists of North America

Barry Ulanov

What Father Hill has provided is 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

Donna Orsuto

This slim yet profound volume will lead you to a deeper understanding of Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother of Perpetual Help. It situates Marian devotion in its proper doctrinal context. Above all, through it, you will come to appreciate Mary's experience of discipleship and how she can lead you to a closer following of Jesus. --Donna Orsuto, STD
