Augustine's Preaching and the Healing of Desire in the Enarrationes in Psalmos (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Enarrationes in Psalmos is the collection of Augustine's commentaries and sermons on the Psalms. Although Augustine is often at his philosophical best here, bearing various resemblances to the Platonists and other philosophers, he also articulates a distinctively Christian view on what we should desire, on how desire has gone wrong, and on how it is healed. The renewal of desire takes place as a result of and through the unity of Christ and the church, which is the guiding theme of the Enarrationes. Augustine's Preaching and the Healing of Desire in the Enarrationes in Psalmos traces this theology of desire as it connects to Augustine's Christology, his ecclesiology, his account of happiness and well-being, and his eschatology. The book closes with some suggestions on what the church can learn today from the Enarrationes in the areas of psychology and wellbeing, biblical exegesis, and homiletics.
