Dedicated to the study of the early church interpretation of Genesis 111 from the close of the New Testament up until the death of augustine of hippo.
http://www.robibrad.demon.co.uk/

Extractions: This site was created to further the study of the Early Church's understanding of Genesis 1-11, especially as it relates to contemporary debate regarding origins Over the centuries countless writers have claimed the support of the early church for their position. The problem, of course, is that the church fathers are often called upon for support by both sides in a debate. In many recent books on origins appeals to the early church have featured prominently. Many of these writers demonstrate a poor grasp of the complexity of early church history, simply quoting the writings of the early Christians without regard to either the immediate context or the wider theological framework within which the writer worked. Prompted by the obvious confusion on the subject I began my own study following my graduation from Bible College. This research is now available on-line . Just click on the image below. For those interested in pursuing the matter further I have provided links to primary sources available on the WWW and a select bibliography of material in printed form. For the purposes of this site "Early Church" will be taken to mean the period between the close of the New Testament and the death of Augustine of Hippo in 430 AD.

He became a famous preacher (more than 350 preserved sermons are believed to be authentic), and noted for combatting the Manichaean heresy.

Extractions: AUGUSTINUM HIPPONENSEM AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO Apostolic Letter of the Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II August 28, 1986 To the Bishops, priests, religious families and faithful of the whole Catholic Church on the occasion of the sixteenth centenary of the conversion of Saint Augustine, Bishop and Doctor of the Church INTRODUCTION Venerable Brothers and beloved sons and daughters: Greetings and the apostolic blessing! I, too, have added my voice to those of my predecessors, when I expressed my strong desire "that his philosophical, theological and spiritual doctrine be studied and spread, so that he may continue ... his teaching in the Church, a humble but at the same time enlightened teaching which speaks above all of Christ and love."[5] On another occasion, I urged in particular the spiritual sons of this great saint "to keep the fascination of St. Augustine alive and attractive even in modern society." This is an excellent ideal that must fire us with enthusiasm, because "the exact and heartfelt knowledge of his life awakens the thirst for God, the attraction of Christ, the love for wisdom and truth, the need for grace, prayer, virtue, fraternal charity, and the yearning for eternal happiness.."[6] I am very happy, accordingly, that the propitious circumstance of the sixteenth centenary of his conversion and baptism offers me the opportunity to evoke his brilliant figure once again. This commemoration will be at the same time a thanksgiving to God for the gift that he has made to the Church, and through her to the whole human race, with this wonderful conversion. It will also be a very fitting occasion to recall to all that this convert, when he had become a bishop, was a marvelous example to pastors in his intrepid defense of the true faith, or, as he would say, of the "virginity" of the faith.[7] He was likewise the genius who constructed a philosophy that can truly be called Christian, because of its harmony with the faith, and a tireless promoter of spiritual and religious perfection.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > St. Alypius A B C D ... Z The bosom friend of St. Augustine, though younger than he, was, after studying under Augustine at Milan, conspicuous at first as a magistrate in Rome. He abandoned that honour to follow his master into the Church. It is noteworthy that there is no mention of him as a saint in the ancient catalogues. His name was placed in the Roman Martyrology by Gregory XIII , in 1584, the evidence of his sanctity being sufficiently clear from the account of his life by St. Augustine. His conversion began when Augustine was still a Manichaean, and occurred in consequence of a discussion about the folly of those who give way to sensual indulgence. A relapse occurred subsequently, when he was dragged by some friends to witness the savage games of the arena; but the final step was taken when, in company with Augustine, in obedience to the voice, Tolle, lege , he read the text of St. Paul, Non in commessationibus , etc. They were both baptized by St. Ambrose, at Milan. After living for some time with Augustine, in the monastery of Hippo, he was made Bishop of Tagaste. This was in the year 394, and took place after his return from the Holy Land, where he had seen St. Jerome. Under his guidance Tagaste reproduced the sanctity, learning, monastic exactness, and orthodoxy of Hippo. The exact date of his death is not known, but his festival is kept on 15 August. T.J.

Extractions: Augustine (Aurelius Augustinus) was one of the greatest theologians of Western Christianity. (In his day the Mediterranean world consisted of an Eastern, Greek-speaking half and a Western, Latin-speaking half, with different ways of looking at things, and different habits of thought.) He was born 13 November 354 in North Africa, about 45 miles south of the Mediterranean, in the town of Tagaste (modern Souk-Ahras) in Numidia, in what is now Algeria, but near ancient Carthage (modern Tunis). His mother, Monnica , was a Christian, and his father for many years a pagan (although he became a Christian before his death). His mother undertook to bring him up as a Christian, and on one level he always found something attractive about Christ, but in the short run he was more interested in the attractions of sex, fame, and pride in his own cleverness. After a moderate amount of running around as a teen-ager, he took a mistress, who bore him a son when he was about eighteen. Theirs was a long-term relationship, apparently with faithfulness on both sides, and the modern reader is left wondering why he did not simply marry the girl. He never tells us this (and in fact never tells us her name), so that we can only guess. It seems likely that she was a freedwoman, and that the laws forbade marriage between a free-born Roman citizen and a slave, or an ex-slave. When he was 19 and a student at Carthage, he read a treatise by Cicero that opened his eyes to the delights of philosophy.

Extractions: (Transferred this year to Mon 5 May) After his baptism, Augustine and a younger brother Navigius and Monnica planned to return to Africa together, but in Ostia, the port city of Rome, Monnica fell ill and said, "You will bury your mother here. All I ask of you is that, wherever you may be, you should remember me at the altar of the Lord. Do not fret because I am buried far from our home in Africa. Nothing is far from God, and I have no fear that he will not know where to find me, when he comes to raise me to life at the end of the world." O Lord, who through spiritual discipline didst strengthen thy Servant Monnica to persevere in offering her love and prayers and tears for the conversion of her husband and of Augustine their son: Deepen our devotion, we beseech thee, and use us in accordance with thy will to bring others, even our own kindred, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever.

http://www.bethel.edu/~letnie/AfricanChristianity/WNAAugustine.html

Extractions: African Christianity Homepage Tertullian See James J. OÕDonnell, Augustine the African AugustineÕs thought can be conveniently divided into four main issues, with his responses to each of the four. Much of AugustineÕs early intellectual pilgrimage was wrapped around his struggles with the nature of evil. AugustineÕs mother, Monica, had raised him as a north African Christian. Christianity in North Africa had a lively sense of the reality and pervasiveness of evil. As he was growing up, Augustine rejected the Christian (both Catholic and Donatist) anwer to the problem of evil, largely because he saw Christianty as an unsophisticated religion for peasants and women. He turned first to Manicheanism , a dualistic religion that resolved the problem of evil by blaming it on the powers of an evil god, and explained the history of the universe as an eternal struggle between two equal forces. After a number of years as a Manichean "hearer", Augustine rejected the Manichean worldview because he believed it was based on bad science [Confessions Book V]. Augustine then turned to Neoplatonic philosophy , which allowed him to explaine the existence of evil in a way that satisfied him even after his full conversion to Christianity. For Augustine, evil has no reality in itself, but is merely the absence of good, just as darkness has no reality in itself, but is merely the absence of light Ñone does not "turn on" the dark, one "turns off" the light. As such evil, or sin, is the choosing of the lesser good when one ought to choose a greater good. For example, the sin of gluttony is the result of loving food too much, or loving food more than loving justice or good health.

http://mb-soft.com/believe/txn/august.htm

Extractions: General Information Saint Augustine, b. Nov. 13, 354, d. Aug. 28, 430, was one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of early Christianity and, while serving (396-430) as bishop of Hippo Regius, the leading figure in the church of North Africa. He had a profound influence on the subsequent development of Western thought and culture and, more than any other person, shaped the themes and defined the problems that have characterized the Western tradition of Christian Theology. Among his many writings considered classics, the two most celebrated are his semiautobiographical Confessions, which contains elements of Mysticism, and City of God, a Christian vision of history. Augustine was born at Thagaste (modern Souk-Ahras, Algeria), a small town in the Roman province of Numidia. He received a classical education that both schooled him in Latin literature and enabled him to escape from his provincial upbringing. Trained at Carthage in rhetoric (public oratory), which was a requisite for a legal or political career in the Roman empire, he became a teacher of rhetoric in Carthage, in Rome, and finally in Milan, a seat of imperial government at the time. At Milan, in 386, Augustine underwent religious conversion. He retired from his public position, received baptism from Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, and soon returned to North Africa. In 391, he was ordained to the priesthood in Hippo Regius (modern Bone, Algeria); five years later he became bishop.

Extractions: Augustine of Hippo Augustine ( CE), bishop, Doctor of the Church, and the most influential theologian of Latin Christianity, was born of a Christian mother and a heathen father. Early in his life he was inspired by the works of Cicero to devote his life to the pursuit of truth. He started this pursuit as a Rhetorician, then he became a Manichaean, and later a Skeptic. Ambrose , bishop of Milan, and Augustine's mother, Monica, were instrumental in his conversion to Catholic Christianity in , though this was facilitated by Augustine's study of Plotinus ' Neoplatonism, which gave him an intellectual access to mystical/spiritual experience. In , he was almost forcibly ordained presbyter at Hippo, and from to , he served as bishop. He wrote many treatises among which we find the celebrated Confessions DOC The City of God and On the Trinity . Many of his writings were directed against heresies, particularly Manichaeism, Donatism , and Pelagianism. He is most noted for founding the Western theological tradition and establishing doctrines of the Trinity and Christology. Elise M. Bender

Extractions: Saint Augustine was one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of early Christianity and the leading figure in the church of North Africa. He had a profound influence on the subsequent development of Western thought and culture, and shaped the themes and defined the problems that have characterized the Western tradition of Christian theology. His two most celebrated writings are his semiautobiographical Confessions and City of God , a Christian vision of history. Augustine was born at Thagaste in Numidia, which is part of present day Algeria. His father, Patricius (died about 371), was a pagan (later converted to Christianity), but his mother, Monica, was a devout Christian who labored untiringly for her son's conversion and who was canonized by the Roman Catholic church. As a child he was schooled in Latin literature and later went to Carthage to study rhetoric, where he became a teacher. By the age of twenty he turned away from his Christian upbringing. He was repelled by its codes of behavior, but he never completely renounced it. At Cathage he became enthusiastic about philosophy after reading Cicero's Hortensius . He considered becoming a Christian, but experimented with several philosophical systems before finally entering the church. For nine years, from 373 until 382, he adhered to Manichaeism, a Persian dualistic philosophy then widely current in the Western Roman Empire. With its fundamental principle of conflict between good and evil and its claim of a rational interpretation of Scripture, Manichaeism at first seemed to Augustine to correspond to experience and to furnish the most plausible hypothesis upon which to construct a philosophical and ethical system. Moreover, its moral code was not unpleasantly strict; Augustine later recorded in his

Extractions: Reference Augustine of Hippo Augustine of Hippo, perhaps the greatest theologian in the history of Western Christianity, was born in Thagaste in North Africa, in A.D. 354. The son of a pagan father and Christian mother, he was brought up as a nominal Christian, and at the age of sixteen went to Carthage to finish his education in law. In 375, on reading Cicero's Hortensius , he becamse intensely interested in philosophy. He became a follower of the Manichean sect, some of whose tenets he continued to hold after he founded his own school of rhetoric at Rome, in 383. Augustine accepted a professorship in Milan, and while there came under the influence of Platonic philosophy in the form of Neo-Platonism. He underwent an intense inner stuggle with his personal faith and morality, the account of which forms part of his Confessions . Under the influence of his mother, Monnica, and the preaching of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Augustine was led to true faith in Christ and was baptized in 387. He returned to North Africa in 391, and was unexpectedly chosen by the people of Hippo to become a priest. Four years later, he was chosen to be Bishop of Hippo. Augustine wrote a great many treatises, letters and sermons. They have provided a rich source of new and fresh insights into Christian faith. Stirred by Alaric the Visigoth's sack of Rome in 410, Augustine wrote what is possibly his greatest work

http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/phil/philo/phils/augustine.html

Extractions: Augustine, a voluminous writer on the subject of philosophy and its relation to religion is considered one of the most important church fathers of old. Beginning with his Confessions (c400) Augustine chronicled his life and conversion to Christianity from Manichaeanism. He is a strong neo-Platonist, and his scant philosophical training is clearly evident from the manuscript, though it is clear that he had a powerful intellect. Using his background in rhetoric, he constructed a version of Christianity from the platonic commentaries that he trained himself with. Some of his other works include Contra Academicos De Ordine De Libero Arbitrio (386), and some of his more famous works like On the Trinity On Genesis According to the Letter (401-15), and On the City of God (413-26). His later works are primarily inspired by the Christian religion, they discuss issues of philosophical importance within the bible, and pagan influences upon society. Some important aspects of his philosophy include the idea of divine illumination, the doctrine of grace, and his ideas on time and space.
