"Augustine of Hippo (354-430) strongly influenced western theology, but he has often
been accused of over-emphasizing the unity of God to the detriment of the Trinity.
In Augustine and the Trinity, Lewis Ayres offers a new treatment of this important
figure, demonstrating how Augustine's writings offer one of the most sophisticated
early theologies of the Trinity developed after the Council of Nicaea (325). Building
on recent research, Ayres argues that Augustine was influenced by a wide variety of
earlier Latin Christian traditions which stressed the irreducibility of Father, Son
and Spirit. Augustine combines these traditions with material from non-Christian Neoplatonists
in a very personal synthesis. Ayres also argues that Augustine shaped a powerful account
of Christian ascent toward understanding of, as well as participation in the divine
life, one that begins in faith and models itself on Christ's humility"--Provided by
