• W1602023214 abstract "Reviewed by: Saint Augustine The Bishop: A Book of Essays Donald X. Burt O.S.A. Fannie LeMoine and Christopher Kleinhenz, editors. Saint Augustine The Bishop: A Book of Essays. Garland Medieval Casebooks, vol. 9. New York: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1994. Pp. xxiii + 208. $34.00. This book contains the proceedings of the September 1991 Conference held in Madison, Wisconsin, on Augustine and his influence. It includes an introductory homily, seven lectures, and abstracts of nine workshops. In his introductory homily, “Amor Dei,” Lord Robert Runcie sets the environment for the discussions that follow. He agrees with Burnaby’s assessment of Augustine’s religion that it was driven by love. Today, as in the 5th century, this love has three characteristics: (1) it is incomplete and unfulfilled; (2) it involves compromise between conflicting demands and desires; (3) it must be active, trying to make the world a better place. Runcie concludes that with such love we can live with the “happiness of hope,” convinced that our lives are never sealed off from God. In the first lecture, “Augustine of Hippo as Preacher,” George Lawless, O.S.A. points out that Augustine’s sermons (which constitute one-third of his extant writings) were addressed not to scholars but to ordinary people of his day, people sometimes addicted to drink, pagan superstition, and trivial pursuits. To communicate truths about God’s love and the human condition to such a “tangled web” of humanity was always hard work, an “untidy and messy ministry.” Augustine labored long over the preparation of his sermons, concerned more about clarity than style. In his opinion the wisdom of the preacher had to be based on a mastery of Scripture and the art was learned more by example than from rules of rhetoric. Lawless concludes by remarking that Augustine’s preaching has lost none of its luster over the years. His words continue to clothe the bare bones of theology with the passion of faith, hope, and love. In his reflection on “Augustine’s Understanding of the Church as a Eucharistic Community,” Gerald Bonner remarks that Augustine’s movement into the pastoral life of the Church was as decisive a “conversion experience” as the event in the Milan garden. His ordination to the church at Hippo forced him to deal with an ordinary mixed and mixed-up community of human beings rather than the self-selecting body of like-minded men which at that time was his monastic ideal. This helped him to understand that the Church included the good and the bad, those triumphant in death and those still struggling with this life. . . . all united in a common celebration of Eucharist whereby one becomes close to God by celebrating the great sacrifice created by Christ the High Priest. Bonner suggests that, “Perhaps by a kind of paradox, one might say that for Augustine we are fed here on earth with the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ in order that hereafter, with the angels, we may feed upon the Word Himself forever.” Gerald O’Collins, S.J., centers his article “Augustine on the Resurrection” around six themes. First, belief in the resurrection establishes the Christian identity. Second, an apologetic for the resurrection can be developed from the [End Page 569] wonders of the world, the miracle of universal belief in it, and the miracles of the martyrs inspired to die because of it. Third, our desire for happiness suggests a hunger that can be fulfilled only by resurrection. Fourth, there is a connection between Easter faith and Easter life. Fifth, this Easter life has a special newness. Sixth, there is a continuity between our embodied life now and our embodied life after resurrection. On all of these points O’Collins points out similarities between Augustine’s resurrection reflections and the sentiments of recent writers such as Barth, Bultman, Karl Rahner, and Hans Küng. Elaine Pagels’s essay “Augustine on Nature and Human Nature” repeats the themes explored in the chapter “The Nature of Nature” from her book Adam, Eve, and the Serpent. She contrasts the Augustinian and Pelagian position on the human condition, specifically the human power to choose good rather than evil. She..." @default.
