Augustine of Hippo, indisputably one of the most important figures
for the study of memory, is credited with establishing memory as
the inner source of selfhood and locus of the search for God. Yet,
those who study memory in Augustine have never before taken into
account his preaching. His sermons are the sources of memory's
greatest development for Augustine. In Augustine's preaching,
especially on the Psalms, the interior gives way to communal
exterior. Both the self and search for God are re-established in a
shared Christological identity and the communal labors of
remembering and forgetting. This book opens with Augustine's early
works and Confessions as the beginning of memory and concludes with
Augustine's Trinity and preaching on Psalm 50 as the end of memory.
The heart of the book, the work of memory, sets forth how ongoing
remembering and forgetting in Christ are for Augustine are
foundational to the life of grace. To that end, Augustine and his
congregants go leaping in memory together, keep festival with
abiding traces, and become forgetful runners like St. Paul.
Remembering and forgetting in Christ, the ongoing work of memory,
prove for Augustine to be actions of reconciliation of the
distended experiences of human life-of praising and groaning,
labouring and resting, solitude and communion. Augustine on Memory
presents this new communal and Christological paradigm not only for
Augustinian studies, but also for theologians, philosophers,
ethicists, and interdisciplinary scholars of memory.
