奥古斯丁三一论探析——以《论三位一体》为中心

摘要

奥古斯丁三一论的核心为圣父、圣子和圣灵是独一上帝的三个位格.为了说明这一点,他从位格与三一类比两方面构筑起自己的理论体系.在位格方面,他认为圣父、圣子和圣灵三位格是就关系来说的,他们之间具有绝对的平等性;在三一类比方面,他指出上帝自身、一般受造物和人类身上存在着三一结构,并以此证明受造物所存在的三一结构和形象实际上也是出自于三位一体上帝.事实上,不管奥古斯丁运用逻辑思维将三一论塑造得如何紧凑,它仍然是人类思维的产物,人类仍旧有认识它的可能.%The core of St. Augustine′s Trinitarianism is that the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit is the unique God′s divine persons,which maintained a high degree of consistency in God′s own. To illustrate this point,he from two aspects of the person and the trinitarian analogue to build his own theoretical system. To the person,he claimed three person is in terms of the relationship,and they have absolute equality. To the trinitarian analogue,he pointed out that the God′s own,generally creatures and human beings all contain the structure of the trinity and the image of the trinity,and proved that the God had given those structures and images to all the creatures. Anyway,St. Augustine′s trinitarianism still is the product of human mind,and human beings still have the possibility to comprehend it.
