“Ama ut intelligas": Fé, razão e amor no De Trinitate de Santo Agostinho

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to perform an introductory investigation into the problem of God from the anagogical way proposed in the work De Trinitate, by Saint Augustine. In fact, the intelligence of faith that works in love leads the human being to a memory of the presence of love itself, that is God. Thus in this scenario there is a glimpse of a vestige of the Trinitatis mysterium. The method that is proposed in this work will be a literature review. However, the considerations developed in this research are settled in the perspective that the Augustinian synthesis between faith and reason transposes a simple intellectual adequacy of reason to faith, but it requires a living in love.
