pt. 1. Why the Son? : the foundations and development of literal christological theophany exegesis. The polemical-doctrinal strand : identity and mediation -- The spiritual strand : vision and transformation -- Theophany interpretation and pro-Nicene theology -- pt. 2. From Christ to triune God : Augustine's critique of patristic theophany narrative exegesis. Visions, signs, and Christ in Augustine's early theophany narrative interpretation -- Augustine's exegetical shift in De Trinitate -- The implications of Augustine's theophany narrative exegesis.
Early Christians interpreted the biblical theophany narratives as manifestations of Christ, yet Augustine challenged and reconfigured this view. Developing over centuries into two major exegetical strands, the transformation of theophany interpretation reveals the critical and adaptive capacity of patristic exegesis.
