: 2013. Titre de soutenance : Deciphering the gift of love : reading Augustine's De
Trinitate through Jean-Luc Marion
The Gift of Love explores the intelligibility of Augustine's claim that we come to
know and encounter God in and through our love. Building upon the discoveries of recent
scholarship, Andrew Staron reads Augustine's De Trinitate not as presenting the Trinity
as a concept to be grasped, but rather as a rational study of the limits of theological
language and the possibility of coming to know the Trinity because of those limits.
Human dependence on God's initiative indicates that the Trinitarian God of love is
knowable only through attention to how God's self-revelation transforms and saves
us. Therefore, to see God, one seeks to mark love's formative activity within the
heart. Jean-Luc Marion's rigorous description of the gift of love offers to Augustine's
theology a phenomenological texture by which the Trinitarian love given in revelation
might be made incarnate in one's life. The Gift of Love presents a reason for hope
that while coming to know "the Trinity that God is" might be impossible for human
beings, it is made possible by God's antecedent gift of love, given in the missions
Son and Holy Spirit, and iconically received in the particularity of one's own love.
