Publisher's Synopsis
On Christian Doctrine is a classic work of Christian theology written by St. Augustine, a prominent theologian and philosopher of the early Christian Church. The book is divided into four books, each of which explores a different aspect of Christian doctrine. The first book focuses on the interpretation of scripture, including the principles of exegesis and the use of allegory in interpreting the Bible. The second book deals with the nature of language and communication, and how these relate to the transmission of Christian doctrine. The third book explores the role of rhetoric in Christian preaching and teaching, and the fourth book discusses the importance of love and charity in Christian life and practice. Throughout the book, Augustine emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of scripture and the need for Christians to live their faith in their everyday lives. On Christian Doctrine is a foundational work of Christian theology, and remains widely read and studied by theologians and scholars today.THIS 93 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin's City of God and Christian Doctrine: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V2, by St. Augustin .
