ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tennant, Richard A. / Patte, Daniel / Teselle, Eugene, PUBLISHER: T&T Clark, Although Augustine's ideas about biblical interpretation developed with age <strong>andstrong> with his deeper church involvement as bishop <strong>ofstrong> Hippo, he never ab<strong>andstrong>oned <strong>thestrong> centrality <strong>ofstrong> biblical interpretation as a pillar <strong>ofstrong> <strong>thestrong> <strong>lifestrong> <strong>ofstrong> Christian faith.

Eugene TeSelle examines <strong>thestrong> inner conflict that Augustine expresses in his sermons on Romans 7 <strong>andstrong> 8.

Language in the Confessions of Augustine

Having worked his way up to <strong>thestrong> eminence <strong>ofstrong> Court Orator to <strong>thestrong> Roman Emperor at Milan, Augustine rediscovered <strong>thestrong> catholic Christianity <strong>ofstrong> his childhood - <strong>andstrong> decided that this was incompatible with his rhetorical pr<strong>ofstrong>ession. Over <strong>thestrong> next ten years, he gradually reinvents himself as a different sort <strong>ofstrong> language pr<strong>ofstrong>essional: a Christian intellectual, commentating on Scripture <strong>andstrong> preaching to his flock.
