The Donatist schism marked the entire of the 4th century of Christianity in North Africa. The Roman authoritarian methods did not help in suppressing this schism, on the contrary, they aided the church of the martyrs in the faith in its own infallibility. But Donatim was not just a spiritual movement. The violent bands of the circumcelliones carried out attacks on the Catholic Church and its representatives as a church of betrayal, along with protests against Rome and its empire, with which they identified it. After the arrival of st. Augustine as a bishop in Hippo, the Catholic Church slowly grows up and tries to begin dialogue with Donatists. The point of the effort is the Conference in Carthage 411. However, Augustine offered a path of reconciliation in his theology. He found the Donatists mistakes that led them away from true humility and reconciliation in the community of Catholica.

The importance of Peter’s position among the apostles started to be increasingly recognized in church tradition in the Middle Ages through a focus on the primacy and authority of Peter and his followers. In the writings of Augustine we find some reflections on primacy, but they are not the major part of his thoughts about Peter. In this article attention is paid on selected writings and sermons where the bishop of Hippo presents Peter as the one to deny Christ at first and to be entrusted with the guidance of the church at last. Peter thus becomes the example of a shepherd. Shepherds in turn become images of Peter as an example for the church and individual Christians. Augustine’s thought originates in the writings of Ambrose, Hilarius, and Optatus, and this is also underlined in this contribution.

This article presents a short summary of the person Origen as a preacher and outlines his homiletic activity. This creates a prerequisite for entry into specific homilies on the book of Exodus (homily IX and XIII), which shows his exegetical skills, allegorical method, and different approaches to the art of updating the biblical text to the audience. The Homilies on Exodus IX and XIII on the tabernacle were popular among the Fathers of the Church, the Jewish authors and the rabbis. This article provides a basic orientation necessary for understanding Origen’s preaching activities and points to the undoubtedly original view in the patristic exegesis on the Mosaic tabernacle. It also shows the interpretative differences between two homilies and points up the caution of the Alexandrian with respect to the audience when he is opening deeper theological themes.
