{"product_id":"thought-clothed-with-sound-thorwald-lorenzen-9783906769073","title":"Thought Clothed with Sound: Augustine's Christological Hermeneutics in de Doctrina Christiana","description":"The present study discusses the symbiotic relationship between Augustine's hermeneutical insights and Christology. It focuses on the first three books of \u003ci\u003eDe doctrina Christiana\u003c\/i\u003e in their given sequence. Since Augustine's hermeneutics implies a Christological epistemology, the author approaches \u003ci\u003eDe doctrina Christiana \u003c\/i\u003ethrough Augustine's early epistemological treatises \u003ci\u003eContra Academicos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDe Magistro. \u003c\/i\u003eThe former defends the possibility of certain knowledge, and the latter explains how this knowledge is gained through the illuminative activity of the Inner Teacher. The work also integrates linguistic signification in ancient philosophy which prepares the ground for understanding Augustine's 'science of signs' and the fundamental Christological analogy in doc. Chr. 1.13. This study exemplifies that Augustine's whole semiotic system is constructed around the fundamental Sign, the humanity of Christ, which in its hypostatic union with the divine nature enables one to know God through Christ the human being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorwald Lorenzen,Tarmo Toom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3906769070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783906769073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Thorwald Lorenzen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450149318911,"sku":"9783906769073","price":134.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3d9ddc5-8e65-407a-9c21-fe2b0ffe56be.jpg?v=1777266422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thought-clothed-with-sound-thorwald-lorenzen-9783906769073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
