philosophia ancilla theologiae
philosophia ancilla theologiae
To know its creator, reason must be healed by repentance and the suffering of divine instruction, by which love of God is made to grow. The rule which governs teaching about the Trinity, and therefore about creation as one of its extensions, is: love alone restores knowledge. Love, furthermore, is the end of theological contemplation of the creator and his work. The goal of the redeemed mind’s exercise in this matter is ‘that god may himself be sought, and himself be loved’. or, as a later Augustinian put it, the task of trinitarian theology is ‘to manifest what expressly revealed in the Scripture concerning God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; so that we may duly believe in him, yield obedience unto him, enjoy communion with him, walk in his love and fear, and so come at length to be blessed with him forevermore.’
John Webster, Trinity and Creation
Otherwise known as why my theological endeavors, as well as yours, are the stuff of worship.
