This paper intends to explore Augustine’s argument in the De Trinitate that the reformation of the human soul is grounded in the integrity of the human nature of Christ. While there can be no doubt that Augustine understands the union of the human and divine natures to be located in the person of the Word, only the relation of human scientia to the person of the Word comes clearly into view. How the human sapientia of Christ is related to the person of the Word is more problematic. Does Augustine actually show us how this may be so? Or is this aporia assumed on authority by faith, leaving its theological explication an unresolved holy mystery?
