The Rhetorical Function of Scripture in Augustine's Confessions

Michael Cameron is Professor of Historical Theology at the University of Portland. Beginning with his dissertation at the University of Chicago Divinity School, Prof. Cameron has explored a career-long focus on St. Augustine, one of the Latin Doctors of the Church. His books include Christ Meets Me Everywhere: Augustine's Early Figurative Exegesis (Oxford University Press, 2012); Essential Expositions of the Psalms by Saint Augustine (New City Press, 2015); Unfolding Sacred Scripture: How Catholics Read the Bible (Liturgy Training Publications, 2015). "The Rhetorical Function of Scripture in Augustine’s Confessions" is his topic. When the rhetorician-turned-bishop Augustine portrayed his “restless heart” in the Confessions, he used Scripture itself to tell his story. This lecture will explore the ways that Augustine joined rhetorical skill to his reading of the Bible to create a spiritual self-portrait that remains one of the great masterpieces of literary and theological art.
