Outlines of the Christology of St. Augustine : part 2

Abstract

Part one analysed Augustine's knowledge and usage of the word persona and its connections to the grammatical exegesis, which eventually led up to the surmise, that this technique could well have shaped his christology and notion of the una persona Christi. Part two will try to prove the accuracy of this assumption by analysing a number of texts, which show the development of Augustine's theology from the grammatical notion of persona to the formula Christus una persona, and then demonstrate, how the newly found formula became the cardinal point for all his future christology.
