Summary: | This article demonstrates why the work Contra Faustum Manichaeum of Augustine of Hippo deserves to be studied from an ecclesiastical approach and not only under the exegetical aspect, as it is usually done. To this end, the structure and content of Book XV is analyzed, showing that this is a disputatio about an ecclesiological title claimed by both sides. Finally, this work highlights the ecclesiological image that Augustine proposes, as well as the language of pastoral solicitude that he uses to vindicate his exercise of the episcopal ministry, which was especially concerned with the care of catechesis, the proclamation of the Christian message and especially, the protection of the simplex fides of the believers in his community. |
