Trinity1 St Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is often hailed as being the most influential theologian in the western Christian tradition. Moreover, he was seen to have been the founding father of what was to become the Order of Hermits of St Augustine (1256) and the Augustinian Canons (1079).2 As such, he has been the subject of countless books recounting his life from his birth to a Christian mother and pagan father, through his education, young adulthood, fatherhood and his moment of revelation and the new life that he followed.3 These books recount Augustine’s search for truth and Christian knowledge, as well as the path which lead him to establishing monasteries, and his work within the communities to his final illness, death and posthumous miracles. Augustine’s biographers, from his contemporary Possidius of Calama (d. 437) to James O’Donnell, have compiled works of impressive detail and insight based on knowledge and interpretations of Augustine’s writings, including his Confessions, The City of God, The Trinity and his sermons. His first biographer, Possidius, based his Sancti Augustini Vita on his firsthand experiences of living in close friendship with Augustine for forty years. In thirty-one chapters, Possidius captures Augustine’s life from childhood through the founding of the monastery to his illness and death, including the saint’s thoughts on household affairs, discipline and the companionship of women.4 In the Middle Ages, Possidius was followed in writing a biography of Augustine by Philip of Harvengt (d. 1 Henry Chadwick, Saint Augustine Confessions (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991), 276. 2 See Eric L. Saak “In Search of Origins: The Foundation of the Ordo Ermitarum Sancti Augustini. in Analecta Augustiniana” Vol. L X X V. (Institutum Historicum Ord. S. Augustini. Romae, 2012). 3 See Eric L. Saak, “Lives of Augustine” forthcoming in The Oxford Guide to the Historical Reception of Augustine, ed. Karla Pollmann et al. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013). 4See the Life of Saint Augustine written by the Bishop Possidius, Translated by Herbert Theberath Weiskotten, http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/possidius_life_of_augustine_02_text.htm, (May 2012). 1 1183), James of Voragine (d. 1298), Nicolas of Alessandria (1332), Henry of Friemar (1334) and Jordan of Quedlinburg (before 1341). None of these histories, with one exception, directly links Augustine to a vision of the Holy Trinity, even as the Trinity was the subject of one of Augustine’s own masterpieces, De Trinitate, which became the point of departure for all further discussions of the Trinity in the medieval theological tradition.5 The same is the case for the iconographic tradition and the historiography thereof. Jean Courcelle and Pierre Courcelle provided the most extensive catalogue of Augustine’s iconography to date, yet nowhere do they discuss Augustine’s vision of the Trinity.6 Indeed, iconographically Augustine’s vision of the Trinity makes its appearance only very late in the tradition, which has been ignored by contemporary scholars, as we will see next.

  • Pelagius Britannicus
    THE REAL 5TH-CENTURY PELAGIUS BRITANNICUS VS OUR ALLEGED 19TH-CENTURY “ULTIMATE PELAGIAN,” HENRICUS Bishop Augustine never met this monk and spiritual counselor Pelagius in person, even when he passed through Hippo in late 410. While in Rome, Pelagius had been the sponsor of a “moral rearmament” or “spiritual athleticism” movement. He seems to have been able to appeal particularly to affluent church ladies, whom he urged to set an example through works of virtue and ascetic living. The bishop saw the attitudes of Pelagius’s followers as dangerously similar to the error of Donatism, in that they fancied that they could by their own virtue set themselves apart from the common herd as ones upon whom God was particularly smiling. While Pelagius had gone off to the Holy Land and had there become an unwilling center of controversy as he visited sacred sites, others back in Africa were wading into this fracas with the hierarchical church authority Augustine. Whatever the merits of the case, of course the bishop’s side was going to prevail and the monk’s side was eventually going to be suppressed. How is this of relevance? Its relevance is due to the fact that, recently, in a book issued by the press of Thoreau’s alma mater Harvard University, Henry is being now characterized as the “ultimate Pelagian”! Go figure. “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Pelagianism HDT WHAT? INDEX PELAGIANISM PELAGIUS 355 CE Pelagius was born, presumably somewhere in the British Isles such as in Ireland (because of his name Brito or Britannicus — although the Pelagian Islands of Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione are in the Mediterranean between Tunisia and Malta).

E-mail: [email protected] Among regular polygons, the pentagon is considered to be barely used in medieval architectural compositions, due to its odd spatial appearance and difficult method of construction. The pentagon, representing the number five has a rich semantic role in Christian symbolism. Even though the proper way of construction was already invented in the Antiquity, there is no evidence of medieval architects having been aware of this knowledge. Contemporary sources only show approximative construction methods. In the Middle Ages the form has been used in architectural elements such as window traceries, towers and apses. As opposed to the general opinion supposing that this polygon has rarely been used, numerous examples bear record that its application can be considered as rather common. Our paper at- tempts to give an overview of the different methods architects could have used for regular pentagon construction during the Middle Ages, and the ways of applying the form.

  • Augustine's "De Trinitate"
    Theological Studies 64 (2003) AUGUSTINE’S DE TRINITATE AND LONERGAN’S REALMS OF MEANING NEIL ORMEROD [After reviewing various proposals concerning the structure of Au- gustine’s De Trinitate, the author presents a structural analysis of that work using the notion of “realms of meaning” found in Ber- nard Lonergan’s Method in Theology. It suggests that Augustine’s treatise comprises four distinct sections which present an account of the Trinity from the perspective of a biblically informed common sense (Books 1–4); of theory (Books 5–7); of interiority (Books 8–11); and finally of transcendence (Books 12–15).] Y ALL ACCOUNTS, Augustine’s De Trinitate is a complex and difficult B book. Augustine himself declared that it would be “understood only by a few.” Among the few cannot be included a number of contemporary trinitarian theologians for whom Augustine has become something of a whipping boy.1 Variously misrepresented and frequently misunderstood, a variety of theological sins have been laid at his feet, notably the sin of individualism, with more than a suspicion of modalism. Subsequently con- temporary trinitarian thought has turned wholesale from the Western tra- dition championed by Augustine and Aquinas to embrace the supposedly superior position of the East, particularly that of the Cappadocians. As Augustine scholar Michael Rene´Barnes has noted: “It is impossible to do contemporary trinitarian theology and not have a judgment on Augustine; NEIL ORMEROD received a Ph. D. in pure mathematics from the University of New South Wales, Australia, and his D. Theol. from the Melbourne College of Divinity. He is lecturer in theology at the Catholic Institute of Sydney and president of the Australian Catholic Theological Association.

  • Creation and God As One, Creator, and Trinity in Early Theology Through Augustine and Its Theological Fruitfulness in the 21St Century
    Creation and God as One, Creator, and Trinity in Early Theology through Augustine and Its Theological Fruitfulness in the 21st Century Submitted by Jane Ellingwood to the University of Exeter as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in September 2015 This dissertation is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the dissertation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this dissertation which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: _________Jane Ellingwood _________________________ 2 Abstract My primary argument in this thesis is that creation theologies significantly influenced early developments in the doctrine of the Trinity, especially in Augustine of Hippo’s theology. Thus this is a work of historical theology, but I conclude with proposals for how Augustine’s theologies of creation and the Trinity can be read fruitfully with modern theology. I critically analyse developments in trinitarian theologies in light of ideas that were held about creation. These include the doctrine of creation ‘out of nothing’ and ideas about other creative acts (e.g., forming or fashioning things). Irenaeus and other early theologians posited roles for God (the Father), the Word / Son, the Spirit, or Wisdom in creative acts without working out formal views on economic trinitarian acts. During the fourth century trinitarian controversies, creation ‘out of nothing’ and ideas about ‘modes of origin’ influenced thinking on consubstantiality and relations within the Trinity.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Doctrina Christiana
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Doctrina Christiana: Christian Learning in Augustine's De doctrina christiana A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Medieval and Byzantine Studies School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Timothy A. Kearns Washington, D.C. 2014 Doctrina Christiana: Christian Learning in Augustine's De doctrina christiana Timothy A. Kearns, Ph.D. Director: Timothy B. Noone, Ph.D. In the twentieth century, Augustinian scholars were unable to agree on what precisely the De doctrina christiana is about as a work. This dissertation is an attempt to answer that question. I have here employed primarily close reading of the text itself but I have also made extensive efforts to detail the intellectual and social context of Augustine’s work, something that has not been done before for this book. Additionally, I have put to use the theory of textuality as developed by Jorge Gracia. My main conclusions are three: 1. Augustine intends to show how all learned disciplines are subordinated to the study of scripture and how that study of scripture is itself ordered to love. 2. But in what way is that study of scripture ordered to love? It is ordered to love because by means of such study exegetes can make progress toward wisdom for themselves and help their audiences do the same. 3. Exegetes grow in wisdom through such study because the scriptures require them to question themselves and their own values and habits and the values and habits of their culture both by means of what the scriptures directly teach and by how readers should (according to Augustine) go about reading them; a person’s questioning of him or herself is moral inquiry, and moral inquiry rightly carried out builds up love of God and neighbor in the inquirer by reforming those habits and values out of line with the teachings of Christ.

O. Box 2, St. Bonaventure University, St. Bonaventure, NY 14778, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] Academic Editors: Scott McGinnis and Chris Metress Received: 23 January 2015 / Accepted: 12 June 2015 / Published: 24 June 2015 Abstract: When St. Bonaventure University decided to redesign its core curriculum, we turned to Bonaventure’s account of the mind’s journey to God in the Itinerarium Mentis in Deum as a paradigm by which to give coherence to the undergraduate experience consistent with our mission and tradition. Bonaventure was himself an Augustinian philosopher and thus Augustine’s Confessions holds a place of great significance in our first year seminar where it is studied in conjunction with Bonaventure’s inward turn to find God imprinted on his soul. This paper is an account of the original rationale for including Augustine’s Confessions in our curriculum and a report of continuing faculty and student attitudes towards that text nearly two decades later. Keywords: Augustine; Bonaventure; core curriculum When I learned that the conference theme was “Augustine Across the Curriculum”, I saw an opportunity to contribute to this discussion from my experience developing, teaching, and administering our university’s core curriculum. My remarks are directed to the place of the Confessions within the curriculum rather than the substance of Augustine’s thought or writings. I decided to write from the point of view of academic leadership, wanting to share whatever lessons from my experience might serve those who commit to a similar process of change and curricular development.

În ediţia română a Sinaxarului Mare, pentru rarele situaţii în care textul ediţiilor originale era deficitar, ne-am folosit de colecţia Vieţile Sfinţilor (ediţia îngrijită de Părintele Arhimandrit Ioanichie Bălan). Vieţile Sfinţilor români au fost preluate, în general, din lucrarea Pr. Prof. Mircea Păcurariu, Sfinţi daco-romani şi români, publicată la Editura Trinitas a Mitropoliei Moldovei şi Bucovinei, în anul 1994. De asemenea, am introdus în lucrarea noastră Vieţile unor Sfinţi de origine slavă (ruşi, sârbi, georgieni, bulgari etc.), precum şi Vieţile unor Sfinţi de origine apuseană, care au trăit înainte de Schisma din 1054 şi a căror dreaptă credinţă a fost probată de Sinoadele Ecumenice şi de alte Sinoade ortodoxe.
