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 Ť 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.

Why is this happening to me? is a question being asked by millions
of people who have lost their livelihoods in today's economic
recession. In Better for Life you will find answers to this
question as you explore the trials of several biblical characters
and the purposes for those trials. Within these pages you will not
only discover the purpose of your trial, but you will also learn
what you can do about it. You can't change your situation, but you
can change yourself. God's plan is not merely to get you out of
your trials, but to transform you while you are in them. Take a
journey to discover the reasons for your hardships, and learn how
you can use these circumstances to your advantage. Remember: God is
not so concerned with making life better for you; He is interested
in making you better for life. So, if you are tired of struggling
under the burden of your circumstances, then it is time to become
better for life!
