The Gift of Love builds upon recent scholarship and reads Augustines De Trinitate as a rational study of the limits of theological language and the possibility of knowing the Trinity because of those limits. Marions description of the gift of love offers to Augustines theology a phenomenological texture by which the trinitarian love given might be made incarnate in ones life. The Gift of Love presents a reason for hope that the signification of the Trinity that God is, while impossible for human beings is not impossible for God.
Andrew Staron is Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, where he teaches contemporary Christian theology, Christology, and theology and literature. He holds a PhD in systematic theology from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. This volume is based on a dissertation completed at CUA under Brian Johnstone, C.SS.R. He is also the author of the forthcoming volume on the Catholic imagination, Imagining God.
