Temporality, Eternity, and Wisdom invites readers into the text of Augustine's most widely read book to consider if rhetoric conflicts with Christianity and if Christians should condemn and abandon its use. In the Confessions, Augustine seems to answer such questions with an emphatic yes. Through a comprehensive review of the classic text, Calvin L. Troup argues that Augustine does indeed reject the dominant rhetorical tradition of the late Roman Empire, known today as the Second Sophistic. Troup notes, however, that Augustine's rejection of that rhetoric dates from long before his conversion. Troup argues that when Augustine converts, the semiotic integration of time and eternity in the incarnate Christ motivates him to espouse a substantial, practical alternative to the Second Sophistic that is nonetheless a form of rhetoric--a Christian rhetoric.

Scholarship has painted many pictures of Augustinethe philosophical theologian, the refuter of heresy, or contributor to doctrines like Original Sinbut the picture of Augustine as preacher, says Sanlon, has been seriously neglected. When academics marginalize the Sermones ad Populum, the real Augustine is not presented accurately. In this study, Sanlon does more, however, than rehabilitate a neglected view of Augustine. How do the theological convictions that Augustine brought to his preaching challenge, sustain, or shape our work today? By presenting Augustine's thought on preaching to contemporary readers Sanlon contributes a major new piece to the ongoing reconsideration of preaching in the modern day, a consideration that is relevant to all branches of the twenty-first century church.

The past two decades have seen increased attention to Augustine of Hippo's (AD 354-430) use of rhetorical concepts. In Rhetorical Economy in Augustine's Theology, Brian Gronewoller explores Augustine's use of the rhetorical concept of economy in his theologies of creation, history, and evil. He shows that rhetorical economy was the logic by which Augustine explained tensions within, and answered challenges to, these three fundamental areas of his thought and others with which they intersect, such as providence, divine activity, and divine order.

The New Interpreter’s Handbook of Preaching is a major reference tool for preaching, with articles on every facet of Christian sermon preparation and delivery. This resource is both scholarly and practical. It focuses on the most distinctive feature and greatest strength of homiletics as a discipline: It is rooted in interdisciplinary scholarship and it develops theory geared to practice. Its theory arises out of the study of both excellent preaching past and present and actual sermon preparation and composition. When theory and practice critique each other, it is possible to produce guidelines that assist greater excellence and economy in preaching the gospel. Excellence in standards is an area in which homiletics needs to grow, and this project will be both a means to encourage and develop it. A guiding question throughout will be, Will it preach? The answers will be offered in the sense that “here is something that works well,” rather than “here is something to try.” Preachers will turn to this resource with the expectation that they will find scholarly treatment of topics, brief bibliographies of relevant key books and articles, along with practical methodological suggestions for preachers to employ. The contributors are homileticians, preachers, and writers in various disciplines who are committed to the pulpit through practice.

This study provides an interpretation of Augustine's theological and exegetical development over the course of his career. On a general level, it demonstrates the impact of rhetorical culture on early Christian approaches to the Bible. It also demonstrates how Augustine's interpretation of Paul was shaped by a persuasive rhetorical milieu. Finally, it shows the history of a critical text (Roman's 7:24-25a) that Augustine employs from first to final writings.

On Christian Doctrine by Saint Augustine is a timeless masterpiece that serves as a foundational text for understanding and interpreting Christian theology and scripture. Written by one of the most influential Church Fathers, this work provides profound insights into the principles of Christian teaching and the art of religious communication. In On Christian Doctrine, Augustine outlines a comprehensive guide to the interpretation and teaching of the Holy Scriptures. Divided into four books, this treatise covers the discovery of what to teach, the manner of teaching, and the methods of interpretation. Augustine emphasizes the importance of love as the ultimate aim of all scripture interpretation, urging readers to seek the deeper spiritual meaning behind biblical texts. Augustine's methodical approach and profound theological insights make this work essential for theologians, pastors, and anyone engaged in the study of Christian doctrine. His discussions on the nature of signs, the interpretation of scripture, and the role of rhetoric in preaching are as relevant today as they were in the early days of the Church. On Christian Doctrine is not only a guide to understanding the Bible but also a window into Augustine's own spiritual journey and his reflections on the Christian faith. This edition invites readers to explore the rich legacy of Augustinian thought, offering timeless wisdom and guidance for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian teachings.
