Contents:
Word and spirit -- The logic of Christ: Hegel's Christology -- The rhetoric ofChrist: Augustine's Christology -- Pentecost -- Hegel's language of spirit and its social realization -- Augustine: the Holy Spirit and the transformation of language -- Church -- Hegel's spiritual community -- Augustine and a Catholic Church with soul?
Summary: In Life in the Spirit, Douglas Finn seeks to redress several imbalances with respect to Augustine, imbalances that have one of their hermeneutic causes in a Hegelian-influenced theological tradition. Finn argues that common readings of Augustine focus too much on his De Trinitate, books 8-15, betraying a modern-and to some extent Hegelian-prejudice against considering sermons and biblical commentaries serious theological work. This broadening of Augustinian texts allows Finn to critique readings of Augustine that, on the one hand, narrow his Trinitarian theology to the so-called psychological.
