Podcast Throwback: The Trinity according to Augustine

, · May 3, 2022

How does Augustine retrieve and build upon the Trinitarian theology that came before him? How does Augustine’s understanding of the Trinity set the trajectory in the west for all theologians who come after him? How do we articulate the Trinity without compromising the one essence? How do we understand the three persons in relation to one another?

In this episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is joined by Matthew Levering to discuss Augustine’s understanding of the Trinity, and his importance to trinitarian theology today.
