Vinculum pacis

Eph. 4:3 and indications of a pneumatology in St. Augustine's theology

The image of charity as the glue (gluten) that binds Christians together and to God was one of Augustine's favorites. The image drawn from Ps. 62:9 is closely related to - though distinct from - the image of the Holy Spirit as the 'bond of peace', the vinculum pacis, which Augustine draws from Eph....

Description
Summary:The image of charity as the glue (gluten) that binds Christians together and to God was one of Augustine's favorites. The image drawn from Ps. 62:9 is closely related to - though distinct from - the image of the Holy Spirit as the 'bond of peace', the vinculum pacis, which Augustine draws from Eph. 4:3. The paper highlights three principles of his Pneumatology, Augustine's understanding of the effects of sin that revolves around his reading of plotinus, second, that the human person does not constitute the image of God until he or she participates in the caritas Dei who is the Holy Spirit, third, that the human person only becomes truly spiritual, that is to say, comes into communion with God by participating in the Holy Spirit.
