Augustine and the Disciplines takes its cue from Augustine's theory
of the liberal arts to explore the larger question of how the Bible
became the focus of medieval culture in the West. Augustine himself
became increasingly aware that an ambivalent attitude towards
knowledge and learning was inherent in Christianity. By facing the
intellectual challenge posed by this tension he arrived at a new
theory of how to interpret the Bible correctly. The topics
investigated here include: Augustine's changing relationship with
the 'disciplines', as he moved from an attempt at their
Christianization (in the philosophical dialogues of Cassiciacum) to
a radical reshaping of them within a Christian world-view (in the
De Doctrina Christiana and Confessiones); the factors that prompted
and facilitated his change of perspective; and the ways in which
Augustine's evolving theory reflected contemporary trends in
Christian pedagogy.
