Since the dawn of the fifth century, theology students, religious
scholars, and Christian readers have turned to this volume for
instruction. Written by one of the foremost leaders in the
development of Christian thought, it offers practical as well as
theoretical guidance on how to read the Bible and explain the
meaning of scripture. Augustine intended his treatise for the
priests in his North African diocese of Hippo, but ultimately, the
saint's counsel laid the groundwork for modern hermeneutics and
semiotics.
The first of "On Christian Doctrine"'s four parts begins with an
overview of the subjects treated in holy scripture. Subsequent
parts discuss signs and their recognition, the distinctions between
literal and figurative expressions, and the scriptures' stylistic
combination of eloquence and wisdom. Above all, Augustine's text
concerns itself with the ways in which individuals can live in
harmony with Jesus' teachings. Christians and non-Christians alike
value this work for its role in historical theology, its influence
on the development of Biblical interpretation, and its insights
into the mind of a great Christian philosopher and ecclesiastic.
