Omschrijving
Samenvatting:This article, the text of the 1993 Saint Augustine Lecture at Villanova University, develops Augustine' contribution to how we know what to believe as Christians-recognizing that faith is both received by individuals and shared by a community of believers. G.E. explores Augustine's personal story, his pastoral treatises and the experience of the Church as a whole to show what he said about coming to believe. "For Augustine there was one faith in one Church..." Yet, "he came to think that heretics were severed from the Church only at those points where they were in conflict with the consensus fidelium". For, he says, "in that in which they think with us, they are with us" (p.22). Such delicate reasoning calls for no little familiarity whit Augustine and with the content of faith.
