In Hermeneutics and the Church, James A. Andrews presents a close
reading of De doctrina christiana as a whole and places Augustine's
text into dialogue with contemporary theological hermeneutics. The
dialogical nature of the exercise allows Augustine to remain a
living voice in contemporary debates about the use of theology in
biblical interpretation. In particular, Andrews puts Augustine's
hermeneutical treatise into dialogue with the theologians Werner
Jeanrond and Stephen Fowl. Andrews argues on the basis of De
doctrina christiana that the paradigm for theological
interpretation is the sermon and that its end is to engender the
double love of God and neighbor. With the sermon as the paradigm of
interpretation, Hermeneutics and the Church offers practical
conclusions for future work in historical theology and biblical
interpretation. For Augustine scholars, Andrews offers a reading of
De doctrina that takes seriously the entirety of the work and
allows Augustine to speak consistently through words written at the
beginning and end of his bishopric. For theologians, this book
provides a model of how to engage theologically with the past, and,
more than that, it offers the actual fruits of such an engagement:
suggestions for the discipline of theological hermeneutics and the
practice of scriptural interpretation.
