Synopsis

On Christian Doctrine is a theological text written by St. Augustine of Hippo. It consists of four books that describe how to interpret and teach the Scriptures. The first three of these books were published in 397 and the fourth added in 426. By writing this text, St. Augustine set three tasks for Christian teachers and preachers: to discover the truth in the contents of the Scriptures, to teach the truth from the Scriptures, and to defend scriptural truth when it was attacked.

À propos de l'auteur

Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a theologian, philosopher, and bishop whose writings helped shape the development of Western Christianity. Born in Roman North Africa, he brought together classical philosophy and Christian teaching in a body of work that continues to influence theology, ethics, and the interpretation of religious texts.His major works include Confessions, The City of God, and On Christian Doctrine, each of which remains widely read. Augustine's writing on language, meaning, and interpretation has had a lasting impact not only on theology but also on philosophy and literary thought.
