Putting on Christ aims to situate Augustine's early soteriology and
sacramental theology within the context of his personal history and
intellectual development. Beginning with an extended analysis of
the theology of salvation and sacramental efficacy contained within
Augustine's Confessions (ca. 400), the study then traces the
maturation of his views on these matters, beginning with his
earliest extant works, the Cassicacum dialogues (ca. 386). The
journey entails treating Augustine's earliest discussions of
Christ's person and his saving work, as well as the believer's
subjective experience of conversion and salvation. As Augustine's
corpus shifts from philosophical dialogues to explicitly apologetic
and scriptural-exegetical works, so too does his soteriological
lexicon expand to include concepts and terms that will later become
his stock-in-trade, such as the virtue of humilitas. And as his
roles in the North African Church come to include participation in
the presbyterate and the episcopacy, so too does his engagement
expand to a wider set of polemical contexts, both anti-Manichaean
and anti-Donatist. Putting on Christ tracks these and many other
aspects of Augustine's maturing thought, showing where lines of
both continuity and development lie and aiming to uncover their
reasons. In doing so, it reveals Augustine to be a thinker and a
teacher who continued to hone his understanding of salvation, the
very heartbeat of Christian life and thought, as well as its
relation to various other aspects of the Christian theological
worldview, from Christology and anthropology to sacramental
theology and ecclesiology.
