On Christian Doctrine

St.

Augustine's "On Christian Doctrine" is a seminal work on biblical hermeneutics, offering guidance on interpreting Scripture.

Augustine emphasizes the importance of understanding the different senses of Scripture—literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical—to grasp its full meaning.

He stresses the need for a proper understanding of God's word to lead a virtuous life.

The book provides a framework for interpreting Scripture in a way that leads to spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of God's plan for humanity.

Augustine's insights continue to influence biblical interpretation and theological reflection today.

His emphasis on the relationship between faith and reason remains a significant contribution to Christian thought.
