‘It would be quite wrong to take the individual human being as in any way providing a satisfactory analogue’ (sc. of God the Holy Trinity) — J. Macquarrie. To anyone in the Augustinian tradition this is a hard saying. The search for the analogy of God in the human soul (what it is proposed to call ‘the psychological analogy’) dominated the theology of Augustine of Hippo. Though he failed to find a developed analogy which fully satisfied either himself or his successors, he never abandoned the quest, attributing his comparative failure to the limitations of the human mind.

page 511 note 7 The doctrine of the Trinity can be approached from two directions ‘considering God (a) as He exists in His eternal being, and (b) as he reveals Himself in the process of creation and redemption. The comprehensive term … for the latter was “economy” (οìκουμíα; dispensatio)’.—Kelly, J. N. D., Early Christian Doctrines, 2nd ed. 1960, p. 110.Google Scholar
