An Historic, Trinitarian Response to Islam, Trinitarian Theology
R.W. Southern writes in Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages about an Augustinian group known as the “Order of the Trinitarians”. He states that these Augustinians who were among the least well known of many of the Augustinian orders, “It was reported about 1240 that there were 600 houses of this branch of the Augustinian order in France, Lombardy, and Spain. These were tiny communities each with three clerks, three laymen, and a superior. Their purpose was to relieve the poor and to redeem prisoners captured by the Muslims”[p.249]. They did not last through the 1400′s. It seems to me that the contemporary worldwide order of the Trinitarians [that is present day Christians of whatever stripe] are the contemporary answer to Islam as well.
