Abstract
The Christian doe fine of God, a hair-splitting concern of the post-Apostolic and Patristic Church, received its glariest elaboration in the De Trinitate, the theological Opus Magnum of St. Augustine of Hippo. In this one single piece, St Augustine, the great pillar of Western Christianity, a pride of the African Church, scored the three-fold goals of defense of the Christian form of monotheism against those who denied the divinity of Christ, the attainment of the unity of faith among believers in Christ, and the clarification of this Christian mystery of faith in the early Church. The centrality of Augustine ‘s De Trinitate in the development of the western doctrine of God deserves a careful exposé for the many who may find it quite difficult to grasp. This paper is intended as an aid to reading St Augustine ‘s Dc Trinitate. It is limited to systematic study of the book, De Trinitate, itself.
