Samenvatting: | In his search for truth, st. Augustine met st. Paul very soon and, from his conversion, his life was marked by that encounter with remarkable effects for Western Christianity. First the evidence of this encounter is presented, whereby the author stops in two of the most qualified moments of that encounter: his conversion and his presbyterial ordination. The author defends the historicity of the conversion as recounted in Confessiones and indicates how Paul was part of the projects of the newly ordained presbyter. Then, the author shows Augustine, the pastor, mainly used the Apostle as exemplum and auctoritas within the framework of the ecclesial reception of the classic culture. The last part explores how the exegete Augustine interpreted St. Paul. The conclusion contains a brief judgment on the augustinian method. |
