Synopsis: Very few in the history of the church have not struggled
with the dogma of the Trinity. Those who have not dismissed it as
incomprehensible gibberish have found it a battlefield for division
and misunderstanding. Even Christians, who adhere to the faith of
the Creeds, have often found such dogma difficult to grasp. Richard
of Saint Victor, a twelfth-century Scottish monk and Prior in the
Abbey of Saint Victor, is emblematic in this struggle: "I have
often read that there is ... only] one God... I have also read ...
that he is one and triune... But I do not remember having read
anything on the evidences for these assertions." Richard's
theological response stems from a profoundly mystical life of
prayer, which, in the Spirit, seeks to involve the mind, in
continuation with the great Augustinian and Anselmian tradition.
Ultimately, he presents a trinitarian model, intelligible to a
Western context but which could also awake admiration from Greek
theologians. Today Richard's dogmatics could represent a bridge for
dialogue between different traditions. For the first time this
theological masterpiece is being made available, unabridged, in
English to allow a broader theological public to benefit from
Richard's accomplishments. The translation offered here attempts to
provide a clear and flowing text, while remaining as literally
faithful as possible to the original Latin. Endorsements: "This
first English translation of Richard of St. Victor's De Trinitate
is a notable publishing event. Ruben Angelici's helpful
introduction is both lively and learned. It is to be hoped that
this project will renew the interest of theologians and
philosophers in the stimulating theology of Richard of St. Victor."
-Paul Helm Teaching Fellow Regent College, Vancouver "Ruben
Angelici deserves great credit for his commentary and translation
of Richard of St. Victor's On the Trinity. His scholarship is
impeccable and insightful and his translation is accurate and
lucid. This is a most welcome and much needed contribution to the
theological academy." -Thomas Weinandy, O.F.M. Executive Director
of the Secretariat for Doctrine United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops Author Biography: Ruben Angelici is a Graduate of
the University of Manchester. He holds degrees and expertise in
theology, philosophy, biology, and music. He has been a sessional
lecturer in dogmatic and historical theology at Nazarene
Theological College, University of Manchester.
