Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centré sur le mystère du Christ, l'hymne de l'Épître aux Philippiens a profondément marqué la pensée et le cœur de saint Augustin : il a trouvé en Ph 2,5-11 une des bases scripturaires les plus fermes et les plus complètes de sa réflexion christologique, de son itinéraire spirituel et de sa vocation pastorale. Comme le souligne dans sa préface Anne-Marie la Bonnardière, l'historienne de la Biblia augustiniana : " C'est à une lecture - au sens de lectio divina - de l'interprétation d'une des pages les plus christologiques de Paul que nous convie le père Albert Verwilghen, tel qu'Augustin l'a lu, médité et transmis en s'efforçant de l'actualiser selon les nécessités de la pastorale en Afrique au début du Ve siècle. ... En réalisant une telle tâche, l'auteur répond au vœu que formulait dans le Supplément au Dictionnaire de la Bible, à l'article Kénose, le père Henry : "Presque jamais ... on n'a présenté dans son ensemble l'exégèse d'un Père, ce qui expose à forcer la portée des témoignages." Pour ce qu'il en est d'Augustin, le vide est maintenant comblé et il nous est loisible d'évaluer avec justesse la portée de ses appréciations sur l'hymne christologique de l'Épître aux Philippiens."

This book was released on 2011-03-25T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Augustin n’a pas écrit de traité de christologie ; mais le Christ est partout présent dans sa vie, sa pensée, ses œuvres. Il mène une quête passionnée et difficile de la Vérité, entièrement menée dans le champ du christianisme et qui aboutit à l’expérience décisive du mystère de l’humilité du Verbe incarné. Pour Augustin, « pasteur d’âmes » durant près de quarante années, l’assemblée liturgique est le lieu par excellence de la christologie, parce que c’est le centre générateur de la vie chrétienne: l’interprétation christique des Écritures, la célébration du sacrifice du Christ, l’actualisation de son mystère dans l’Église, l’initiation et la participation des chrétiens, leur incorporation au Christ, leur édification spirituelle au sens fort, la foi et l’intelligence de la foi. L’immense production théologique d’Augustin est à peu près entièrement occasionnelle, faite de réponses à diverses sollicitations d’amis, de disciples ou d’adversaires. Les grandes controverses qu’il eut à mener avaient toutes des enjeux christologiques d’importance : contre le manichéisme, contre le donatisme, contre le pélagianisme... « Le Christ Dieu est la Patrie où nous allons, le Christ Homme est la Voie par où nous allons. C’est à Lui que nous allons, par Lui que nous allons. » (Sermon 123, 3, 3.) Une collection de référence en christologie sous la direction de Monseigneur Doré.

Download or read book Augustine and the Trinity written by Lewis Ayres and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine of Hippo (354–430) strongly influenced western theology, but he has often been accused of over-emphasizing the unity of God to the detriment of the Trinity. In Augustine and the Trinity, Lewis Ayres offers a new treatment of this important figure, demonstrating how Augustine's writings offer one of the most sophisticated early theologies of the Trinity developed after the Council of Nicaea (325). Building on recent research, Ayres argues that Augustine was influenced by a wide variety of earlier Latin Christian traditions which stressed the irreducibility of Father, Son and Spirit. Augustine combines these traditions with material from non-Christian Neoplatonists in a very personal synthesis. Ayres also argues that Augustine shaped a powerful account of Christian ascent toward understanding of, as well as participation in the divine life, one that begins in faith and models itself on Christ's humility.

Download or read book Saint Augustin written by Marie-Anne Vannier and published by Nouvelle Cité. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Augustin (354-430) est l’un des géants de la patristique et plus largement de la civilisation occidentale, car un certain nombre de ses intuitions, comme la place du sujet ou celle de la relation, sont encore fondamentales aujourd’hui. Parmi les Pères de l’Église, saint Augustin est celui dont la vie est la mieux connue, car non seulement il a eu un biographe, mais il a également retracé sa biographie spirituelle ou plus précisément l’aventure de sa conversion dans les Confessions. Après l’avoir situé dans son contexte, celui de l’Afrique du Nord au tournant du IVe et du Ve siècle, l’activité pastorale d’Augustin est tout d’abord explorée. Augustin parle de son expérience de prédicateur à travers la métaphore des anges qui montent et qui descendent, de l’importance de la catéchèse qu’il déploie à propos de l’eucharistie, de sa prédication pour les fêtes et surtout de la clef de sa pastorale, qui est la charité. Il se place ainsi dans la dynamique de l’amour trinitaire qu’il transmet aux autres, ce qui nous amène à envisager son œuvre de théologien. Sa théologie, il la dégage de l’Écriture, comme en témoigne sa réflexion sur la création et sur l’image de Dieu en l’homme. Il se situe en disciple de Paul. En fonction de sa propre expérience, il développe une anthropologie solide, consacre des pages mémorables au Christ médiateur. En réponse aux hérésies, il réfléchit sur le motif de l’Incarnation, sur l’unité de l’Église... Pasteur et théologien, il apporte sa contribution à l’ecclésiologie et à l’eschatologie. Homme de relation et de prière, il fait ressortir la place du Maître intérieur en chacun, reprend plusieurs fois son commentaire de la prière par excellence qu’est le Notre Père et met en évidence l’importance de la louange. A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR : Marie-Anne VANNIER, professeur à l’Université de Lorraine (Metz), a une double formation en philosophie et en théologie. Directrice de l’Équipe de recherche sur les mystiques rhénans, elle s’intéresse depuis longtemps à la théologie et à la spiritualité d’Hildegarde de Bingen. Rédactrice en chef de la revue Connaissance des Pères de l’Eglise, éditée par Nouvelle Cité, Marie-Anne Vannier est l’auteur de nombreuses publications sur saint Augustin, Jean Cassien et Eckhart.

Download or read book The Spirituality of Saint Augustine written by Gabriel Quicke and published by Gompel&Svacina. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine has put an important mark on later Christian thinking. Moreover, he composed a lot of writings: more than eight hundred sermons, some three hundred letters, and a hundred works in which he unfolds his theological vision. This book presents some basic thoughts on the spirituality of this great church father. In different ways the author clarifies in which sense the spirituality of Augustine can be a breath of fresh air for our times. The conversion experience that Augustine went through ultimately became the experience of a growing trust in God who first loved us. Step by step, Augustine unfolded Christ in his many sermons and writings as a humble physician, mediator, and shepherd. Augustine developed a spirituality of togetherness: inner life is intrinsically linked to community life and apostolate. The spirituality of the Church as the Whole Christ is expressed in the loving care of the poor and vulnerable. His lived experience of the value of friendship and hospitality, the precious treasure of faith in Christ, the humble Physician, his concept of the Pilgrim-Church, and his vision of Mary, the dignity of the earth remain invaluable for the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Christ and the Just Society in the Thought of Augustine written by Robert Dodaro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ and the Just Society in the Thought of Augustine is a study of Augustine's political thought and ethics in relation to his theology. The book examines fundamental issues in Augustine's theological and political ethics in relation to the question, 'How did Augustine conceive the just society'? At the heart of the book's approach is the relationship that Augustine outlines in his City of God and other writings between Christ and those believers who acknowledge him to be the only source of the soul's virtue. The book demonstrates how Augustine sees Christ's grace and the scriptures contributing to the soul's growth in virtue, especially as these issues are framed by the Pelagian controversy. Finally, the implications which Augustine sees for Christ's mediation of virtue are examined in relation to his revision of the ancient concepts of heroism and the statesman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one-volume reference work provides the first encyclopedic treatment of the life, thought, and influence of Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-430), one of the greatest figures in the history of the Christian church. The product of more than 140 leading scholars throughout the world, this comprehensive encyclopedia contains over 400 articles that cover every aspect of Augustine's life and writings and trace his profound influence on the church and the development of Western thought through the past two millennia. Major articles examine in detail all of Augustine's nearly 120 extant writings, from his brief tractates to his prodigious theological works. For many readers, this volume is the only source for commentary on the numerous works by Augustine not available in English. Other articles discuss: Augustine's influence on other theologians, from contemporaries like Jerome and Ambrose to prominent figures throughout church history, such as Gregory the Great, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Harnack; Augustine's life, the chaotic political events of his world, and the church's struggles with such heresies as Arianism, Donatism, Manicheism, and Pelagianism; Augustine's thoughts about philosophical problems (time, the ascent of the soul, the nature of truth), theological questions (guilt, original sin, free will, the Trinity), and cultural issues (church-state relations, Roman society).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than discussing their possible vocation, discussions of children tend to center on their rights or duties. Does God have intentions for their young lives -- before they grow up and become “real” people? Distinguished jurist Patrick McKinley Brennan has gathered sixteen authors to approach this idea in various ways, from historical to psychological to theological. The authors explore throughout whether it is possible for adults to either squander their children's vocations or instead to help discover and embrace them.

It will be an indispensable resource for anyone studying this period

Download or read book The Theological Epistemology of Augustine s De Trinitate written by Luigi Gioia and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luigi Gioia provides a fresh description and analysis of Augustine's monumental treatise, De Trinitate, working on a supposition of its unity and its coherence from structural, rhetorical, and theological points of view. The main arguments of the treatise are reviewed first: Scripture and the mystery of the Trinity; discussion of 'Arian' logical and ontological categories; a comparison between the process of knowledge and formal aspects of the confession of the mystery of the Trinity; an account of the so called 'psychological analogies'. These topics hold a predominantly instructive or polemical function. The unity and the coherence of the treatise become apparent especially when its description focuses on a truly theological understanding of knowledge of God: Augustine aims at leading the reader to the vision and enjoyment of God the Trinity, in whose image we are created. This mystagogical aspect of the rhetoric of De Trinitate is unfolded through Christology, soteriology, doctrine of the Holy Spirit and doctrine of revelation. At the same time, from the vantage point of love, Augustine detects and powerfully depicts the epistemological consequences of human sinfulness, thus unmasking the fundamental deficiency of received theories of knowledge. Only love restores knowledge and enables philosophers to yield to the injunction which resumes philosophical enterprise as a whole, namely 'know thyself'.
