Summary/Abstract: The author’s paper, Trinitarian transcendence and its consequences in St. Augustine, is intended to prove that the twelve Articles of the Symbol of Faith, in particular Articles about intra-Trinitarian transcendence, were preceded by writings and controversies between the first two ecumenical councils, which were established primarily the transcendence of divinity in relation to the human being, then the transcendence of Trinitarian divinity and thirdly, the intra-Trinitarian relationship, of Trinity’s hypostases. In these controversies, St. Augustine had a major role.
