The De Doctrina Christiana ("On Christian Teaching") is one of Augustine's most important works on the classical tradition. Undertaken at the same time as the Confessions, is sheds light on the development of Augustine's thought, especially in the areas of ethics, hermeneutics, and sign-theory. What is most interesting, however, is its careful attempt to indicate precisely what elements of a classical education are valuable for a Christian, and how the precepts of Ciceronian rhetoric may be used to communicate Christian truth. An up-to-date translation has long been necessary, for readers of Augustine and all who study the early church, or the classical tradition, or the history of literary criticism or Biblical interpretation. This completely new translation gives a close but stylish representation of Augustine's thought and expression. A succinct introduction and select bibliography embodies the results of recent work.
Quomodo venit nisi quod verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis? Sicuti cum loquimur, ut id quod animo gerimus in audentis animum per aures carneas illabatur, fit sonus verbum quod corde gestamus, et locutio vocatur, nec tamen in eundem sonum cogitatio nostra covertitur, sed apud se manens integra formam vocis qua se insinuet auribus sine aliqua labe suae mutationis assumit, ita verbum dei non commutatum caro tamen factum est ut habitaret in nobis.

Careful consideration of many other such things--as may be done by those who are not hard pressed by the need to finish a book--reveals that the basic principle of Christian healing is one of contrariety and similarity.
Multa quoque alia diligentius considerantibus, quos instituti operis peragendi necessitas non rapit, vel a contrariis vel a similibus medicinae christianae apparet instructio. (查看原文)
