  • Summary

    The introduction contextualizes and outlines an approach to Augustine’s theology of the resurrection. After presenting the centrality and the meaning of the resurrection in Augustine’s works, it observes the discrepant paucity of current scholarship on this topic, while acknowledging both the merits and the limits of two modern trends in approaching it: (1) The first focuses exclusively on the bodily resurrection and (2) the second treats the resurrection in its plenitude. Following an outline of the book’s chapters, the introduction reflects upon Augustine’s theological methodology of faith seeking to understand the mystery of the resurrection through faithfully following the guidance of the resurrected Christ, the one true teacher of all, who abides in heaven and in the human heart.
