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.

This study analyzes Augustine’s interpretation of the number 153, found in John 21,11. Despite Augustine’s condemnation of those mathematicians who calculated a person’s destiny out of his or her birthday and name, we have to bear in mind the critical passage Gen. ad litteram 2, 17, 37. He immersed himself into the study of figures and numbers in the Bible, and their allegoric interpretation was part of his exegesis. In this we may be able to see not only a proof of his neo-platonian education, which comprised geometry and arithmetics, but also his inclination towards exact science. This paper is an attempt to compile and understand the texts of Augustine in which he interprets the Johannine number 153.

This paper examines Augustine's writings dealing with the justification of war, and concentrates on the thesis that Augustine has a reasonably coherent just war theory. It strives to explain what the main principles of that theory are and argues that Augustine's view of war is closely related to his general political and theological assumptions. The article starts with an analysis of selected works of Augustine and demonstrates that Augustine does not subscribe to either of the two main rival positions on the issue in question, namely pacifism and permissivism. On the contrary, it is maintained that, according to Augustine, war - under some specific circumstances - can be justified. Through interpretative reconstruction the paper reveals the main principles of Augustine's Just War theory and claims that the core propositions of his Just War theory are consistent with his basic political and theological beliefs.

LITERARY SOURCES FOR THE EARLIEST MONASTIC COMMUNITIES IN NORTH AFRICA (Zrodla literackie dotyczace najwczesniejszych wspolnot monastycznych w Afryce Polnocnej)

Our knowledge of the earliest monastic communities in North Africa comes primarily and almost exclusively from the writings of St. Augustine or from other works written by authors closely related to him. These literary sources represent specific categories with a strongly persuasive function and as such they belong to the prescriptive, apologetic or hagiographical writings. While studying any aspect of early monasticism in North Africa it is necessary to pay attention to the literary and rhetorical traits of the texts. The prescriptive works (Rule of St. Augustine, De opere monachorum) pointed to the ideal which could be perceived as a task to be completed by the monks themselves as well as by their superiors; the apologetic sources (Sermones 355-356) were to show that this ideal, seemingly imperfect as it was, functioned quite well; finally, the hagiographical sources (Vita Augustini) tried to convince the reader that the ideal had come true. The perfect and clearly established example of this ideal is found in the apostolic community in Jerusalem outlined in the Acts of the Apostles 4, 32-35.

The paper reflects the classification of suicide in the context of the biblical-Christian tradition. It shows that the ultimate condemnation of suicide does not occur in the Bible. It presents the condemnation/denunciation of suicide by Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. Finally it deals with ecclesiastic-Christian praxis towards suicide, where taboo and pre-Christian elements are quoted. But recently there has been an evident tendency to a more differentiated and humane attitude towards the classification of suicide or more precisely those who commit it and their environment.

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.

In this article the author makes an attempt at presenting St. Augustine’s ethical thoughts. Because St. Augustine did not write exclusively ethical works and in the same works he wrote about ethics and metaphysics, philosophy and theology, these considerations are based on several different writings of his. However, one of them, Contra Academicos, is used as some kind of a milestone. In this article the author presents St. Augustine’s thoughts about happiness, truth and virtues. But most importantly she recognizes St. Augustine’s definition of virtue in connection with love.

The author pays attention to two aspects of the document of the International Theological Commission 'Communion and Stewardship'. The first one refers to a radical refusal of dualism, which brings up some questions both about the theological concept of the origin of a human being and of the further use of Augustine's psychological trinitarian theory. The second aspect is mariological implications of some statements in the document.

The study offers Congar’s understanding of the topic of baptismal priesthood. The theologian draws much on biblical sources, touching also the era of systematization of theology in which the highest authorities are Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. These writers, as Congar argues, introduce many distinctions into theological reflection which helps them to form a coherent and balanced system in theological work. For the French Dominican the return to the sources helps him to avoid the unilateral approach of modern theology which often tries to accent that shape of reflection which is the strongest or which seems to be the most useful for solving some particular problem.

JEŽÍŠOVO PŘÍBUZENSTVO U AMBROSIASTERA

Ambrosiaster’s exposition of the story of the twelve-year-old Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–52) leads us, with the passage of 2000 years, to three questions associated with Jesus’ relatives: who was the father of Joseph (Quaest. 56), whether Jesus was a son of Joseph (Quaest. 75), and who are the “brothers of the Lord” (Comm. Gal. 1,19). These three themes also reveal certain characteristics of the author’s style and help us place the author within a broader context, both thematically and temporally. The clear formal structure of Quaestiones, the ease of the explanation submitted, the absence of other possible solutions, the absence of references to philosophy and literature, only sporadic references to the Fathers (discussed more in detail by A. Volgers) – all this corresponds to the hypothesis that the work was conceived as a pastoral-catechetical manual, designed for the practical needs of priests (and probably also drafted by a priest). The dispute over the “brothers of the Lord” demonstrates that Ambrosiaster did not hesitate to differ in his explanation from his contemporaries (Marius Victorinus, Jerome and Helvidius, in a broader context also Augustine and Pelagius), and also, thanks to recent observations by S. Cooper and D. Hunter, allows us to determine more accurately the time of the gamma version of his commentary on Galatians.

The article aims to discuss issues related to immortality and to the genesis of the human soul. Augustine’s ontological stance on man supports the immortality of the soul. The author justifies his views by referring to the Holy Bible and to the vital functions of man. Also, he points to the dissimilarity between sensual and mental cognition. What speaks for immortality of the soul is the evidence of the lack of a quantitative element, as well as the concepts of truth and life. The foregoing argumentation gives grounds to believe that a human being remains a unique whole of physical and spiritual unity.
