This study examines how St. Augustine use the motif Christus
Sacerdos to synthesize the entire mystery of Christ, to define
Christian identity, and to oppose counter-identities and doctrines,
especially those symbolized by pagan priesthoods. The bishop of
Hippo continually joins these three elements - Christology,
Christian identity, and polemic - so that the doctrine of Christ is
always related to its implications for life � on the ground.
Augustine shows how the doctrine of Christ entails an identity and
an ideal for Christians, defining who they are and what they are to
become. He reinforces his teaching about Christ and the Christian
with polemic against opposing doctrines, demonstrating the truth of
the Christian religion in opposition to pagan cult, and portraying
Christian identity in contrast to pagan counter-identity. The study
is notable for its attention to how Augustine's Christology
functions in his broader thought, especially his pastoral care.
