Footprints of God in the Human Spirit. Saint Augustine, De Trinitate, Book IX

We work on the ways in which Saint Augustine presents the Trinitarian footprints in the human person and the correlations he establishes between immanence and transcendence. In this sense, his contribution is considered perhaps more relevant to our present, from the philosophical point of view: clarifying immanence is the previous and necessary step to circumscribe the mystery of God, that is, to establish the reasonableness of the act of faith. Saint Augustine thus interrelates the intellectual instruments available to him: Scripture, exegesis, semiotics and Neoplatonic philosophy, which allow him to glimpse per similitudinem the principles of Being.
