On the subject of the Thomistic synthesis as regards the mystery of
the Trinity, we will first examine what St. Thomas owes to St.
Augustine, then the doctrine of St. Thomas himself on the divine
processions and relations and persons, and on the notional acts of
generation and spiration. This doctrine then will enable us to see
better why the Blessed Trinity is unknowable by natural reason. Next
we will study the law of appropriation, and lastly the manner of the
Trinity's indwelling in the souls of the just. Throughout we will
emphasize the principles which underlie the development of theological
science
