Based on the acclaimed French volume Saint Augustin et la Bible,
this translation with additional selections honors the beautifully
wrought monument to the scholarly research of Anne-Marie la
Bonnardiere and her colleagues. Editor Pamela Bright offers the
first English language edition of the highly regarded Bible de Tous
les Temps, published by Beauchesne Editeur in Paris. This volume
presents the findings of eminent scholars on the Bible in
Augustine's letters, in his preaching, in polemics, in the City of
God, and as a source for Christian ethics, following the
chronological order of Augustine's works from the mid-eighties of
the fourth century to just before his death in 430. Part I examines
what can be known of the stages of Augustine's encounter with the
biblical texts and which texts were formative for him before he
assumed his ministry of the Word. Part II is devoted to a very
different kind of encounter-Augustine's grappling with the
hermeneutical method originating in the province of Africa. Part
III describes Augustine's first foray into the field of biblical
polemics when he opposes the Manichees, the very group who first
introduced him to a study of the "obscurities" of the biblical
text. And in Part IV, the reader encounters the most familiar voice
of Augustine-that of the tireless preacher of the Word.
