    Augustine's Theology of Justification by Faith

  • Summary

    The conclusion shows that the righteousness of faith is polyvalent: if faith is motivated by fear, as in Donatists and lax catechumens, it fails to justify; if faith is motivated by hope in Christ, as in converting catechumens, it justifies because it will obtain the grace of the Holy Spirit; if faith is motivated by love of Christ, as in the faithful, it justifies as the essential superstructure of righteousness in Christ. In every case, faith justifies as the crucible in which God transforms desire. As final examples, the conclusion considers the catechumen as an image of the process of justification and the baptized as an image of the state of justification, though it is a state characterized both by righteousness in Christ and by hope in future grace. Ultimately, faith is a proper theological mystery for Augustine because faith’s righteousness comes from its being saturated with Christ and the Holy Spirit.

    Christology and Ethics in Galatians

  • Summary

    Introduction: Interpreters of Paul have distorted or misconstrued features of Paul’s notion of love by insisting that he holds to an absolute antithesis between self-interest and other-regard. This calls for a rereading of Paul’s Christology and love ethics beyond that dichotomy.

    Augustine's Theology of Justification by Faith

  • Summary

    While many scholars have argued that Augustine’s theology of grace underwent a shift around 418, making the grace of faith more inward, Chapter 5 proposes that instead, Augustine’s vocabulary of faith simply expands to encompass hopeful and loving faith, which are due to inward graces. Augustine’s expanded vocabulary can be seen especially through his distinction between three different senses of credere (believing). Credere Christum – believing truths about Christ – is necessary for true virtue, since faith orders actions to their ultimate end, but is not sufficient for it. Credere Christo – believing Christ – justifies when motivated by hope. Hope is both the desire for the grace to love and the first beginning of love by grace. Hope therefore explains many puzzles in Augustine’s mature theology of grace. Lastly, credere in Christum – believing in Christ – is a synecdoche for faith, hope, and love. It signifies not merely the means to righteousness but participation in Christ and the very essence of human righteousness.

    Saints as Divine Evidence
    Published online:

  • Summary

    Chapter 2 maintains the basic focus on evidence but shifts genres from the primarily analytic mode of the first chapter to consider Austin Farrer’s understanding of ‘saints’ as ‘evidence’ for God. The chapter then provides a sustained biographical character-study of the man that Farrer thought was a saint: the Anglican priest, labour union organiser, and British Army officer Hugh Lister (1901–44).
