In the present work we intend to carry out a historical/dogmatic study of the main attributes and examples of life described by St. Augustine in his sermons on the role of martyrs in the Catholic Church at the beginning of the 5th century. For this purpose, his writings will be analysed in detail, and an attempt will be made to reconstruct as faithfully as possible the true concept of martyr according to the bishop of Hippo.

This paper expresses the principles of free will in the thought of the philosopher and bishop of Hippo, St. Augustine, in order to establish the understanding that there is about freedom and evil, since every human creature seeks to be free and good. In order to interpret the concepts of free will and the origin of evil, we will take into consideration these works of Saint Augustine: De libero arbitrio, Confessiones, and De ciuitate Dei; what is presented in the three books about whether sin comes from free will and whether the proof of God’s existence reveals him as the source of all good. In addition to the use of some commentators. In reviewing the texts one can affirm that God is not the author of evil, but the misuse of free will which in itself is a good, and praise God for the universal order, of which free will is a positive component, even if subject to sin. For Augustine, true happiness is found in accepting the Grace of God. The ability to choose, that is, free will, is not free until then. Freedom consists in having the will to return to the good. Free will conditions us to follow God’s will or not. However, only the one who chooses to carry out God’s will with God’s help will be free.

Peculiarità cristiana della nozione di male in Boezio
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
This article proposes the philosophical analysis of the concept of evil in Boethius, and the identification of its Christian distinctiveness. Which does not constitute a break with the Platonic tradition; it was precisely the constant confrontation with Platonic and Neo-Platonic philosophers that allowed Boethius to realise an original model of Christian philosophy. The text will proceed with the identification of the sources, both Neo-Platonic and Christian, and among the latter especially the Augustinian ones. The comparison with Augustine will be addressed in the last paragraph. The result will be an understanding of evil dialectically elaborated with Neo-Platonic material, but respectful of the precipitous demands of Christian doctrine, and augmented by the reflection of evangelical ideals, as a moment of the broad and original synthesis of philosophy and Christianity offered by the De Consolatione Philosophiae.

Hablar de Dios trino desde la lógica del amor. El tratado sobre la Trinidad de Ricardo de San Víctor (1110-1173)
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
Reflection on the mystery of the Trinity has given rise to various responses to interpret the fundamental dogma of faith. Richard of St. Victor, in the line of St. Augustine, presents the reasons that allow access to the rationality of this mystery thanks to the logic of love, which gives rise to reciprocity, fullness and gift towards the other, which configure the thought of the Parisian master. This approach brings him closer to contemporary authors and his thought and discourse continue to surprise by their originality, depth and intellectual honesty.

El sacerdocio en san Agustín: Communio y Confessio
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
The article addresses the theme of priesthood as communio and confessio, showing first of all how the priest must make his life a prolonged Eucharist by becoming not only the minister of the Eucharist, but also how his life must be transformed into bread broken and shared for his brothers and sisters. On the other hand, the union of the priest with the cross of Christ is highlighted, and the Augustinian image of the olive oil mill and the commitment to bear good fruit for God is developed. Following the text of Conf. 10:39, the importance of the priest living in union with Christ is emphasized. Communion implies a participation in the cross of Christ and the four dimensions of the cross of Christ according to St. Augustine and its implications in the priestly life are pointed out. The importance of the priest as an agent of communion and unity within the Church is also highlighted. All these ideas are illustrated with the figures of some of the most famous priests of universal literature.

Contrapreguntas en el evangelio de Lucas. Una evaluación
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
Socrates’ method can be compared with that of Christ, since both often answer the questions of their interlocutors with another question, which the article calls a counter-question. The article first examines the literature on questions in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, and focuses on the works of Douglas Estes, Paul Elbert, Christof Müller and Martin Leutzsch. It then focuses on the counter-questions that Christ asks in Luke’s Gospel, in order to highlight how Christ wants his interlocutors to participate in a pedagogical dynamic in the dialogue they establish with him by means of their own questions.

Ecology in De Genesi ad litteram libri XII
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
The De Genesi ad litteram constitutes one of the mature works of Augustine, and in spite of the fact that for many years it has remained forgotten, it deserves a place of honor among what are considered to be the great Augustinian works. The present article highlights creation as the work of the Trinity, Augustine’s interpretation of the text of Wis 11:22 in Book IV of De Genesi ad litteram, the relationship between the spiritual sense of Scripture and ecology, the fact that animals are simply creatures, the characteristics of animals that Augustine exemplifies with the fish of Bulla Reggia, the relationship between animals and the four elements, the question of spontaneous generation, the relationship that animals have with the ordo of creation, the mystery of life, the presentation of the seminal reasons or eternal reasons, the superiority of man over other creatures, the mission of the human being to care for and cultivate the world created by God.

abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
In this article the so-called “Song of Hanna” (1Sam 2: 6-10) is approached to propose a new reading of it, making a review of its main variants, particularly with regard to vv. 6 to 8. The sources which are contrasted are TM, LXX, the Vorlage of the LXX and 4Qsam, among others. The current state of the studies related to the text of 1 Sam 2: 6-10, and the “Song of Hanna” is also addressed, to propose a synthesis of the ideas presented in the studies, in order to make a presentation of the way in which the text of 1Sam 2: 6-10 was inserted in its context.

El sacerdocio como configuración con Cristo, según san Agustín
abstract | view |  rights & permissions | cited by
The article considers the configuration of the ordained minister with Christ, starting first from the Old Testament figures that St. Augustine highlights (Melchizedek, Aaron, Joshua) as well as the theological consequences that he draws from these figures in relation to the priesthood. Subsequently, the article addresses the internal and external configuration that the ordained minister must have with Christ, the only Priest. In relation to the internal configuration, the importance of prayer and the configuration of the ordained minister with the feelings of Christ are highlighted, so that he can become an instrument of God’s mercy. The configuration of the ordained minister to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross is also discussed, as well as the patience and trust that every ordained minister must have in God. The external elements of the configuration of the ordained minister to Christ are also highlighted, starting from the lifestyle of Christ, dedicated only to the proclamation of the kingdom, the importance of the mission and the joy in the exercise of the pastoral ministry.
