Summary
A Study of Augustine’s Concept of the Trinity and Social Welfare : The Trinity Theory, Drawn by the Seven Biblical Scriptures
Shuichiro Kunori In this study, Augustine’s Trinity theory is used to consider the point of contact between Christianity and social welfare. As part of this research, I examined all the scriptures in the New Testament and discussed the relationship between the Trinity theory and the Bible. I found that the seven well-known scriptures of the New Testament are used often. I extracted only those parts from the seven scriptures that were relevant to Augustine’s vast argument, and used these to summarize the Trinity theory. In this summary, not only Augustine’s own psychological trinity theory but also his personal faith clearly appears. His Trinity theory is based on the principle of the “loving actor, loved ones, and love,” and explores the love of God and the love of one’s neighbors by faith and reason. I believe that his idea provides valuable intellectual heritage for seeking Christian social welfare in harmony with faith and reason in a scientific and developed modern society.
Keywords Augustine, the Trinity, social welfare, seven biblical scriptures
