Description

This session focuses on Augustinian approaches to Paul found in Augustine's own works. The first two papers concentrate on the exegesis of Augustine's writings in relation to Paul, The first paper emphasizes the theme of women and the Imago Dei and the second paper the righteousness of faith. Both papers attempt to understand Augustine's appropriation of Paul's ideas in the context of Genesis and Romans, respectively. The next two papers focus on the theme of correspondence. The first paper explores Paul's Corinthian correspondence in relation to a few key topics in Augustine's works such as Augustine's love theology that enables him to refute the Donatists. The second paper explores the correspondence between Augustine and Jerome and their competing interpretations of Paul's opposition to Peter. This session has four presenters, all of whom address Augustine's response to questions relating to Paul's works. Marianne Djuth
