Notes‎ > ‎

Augustine

  • Perhaps endorsed a classical model of emulation and practice rather than codification.
    • ...and modeling of your positions
  • Parses up truth from eloquence (or its representation)
  • Ciceronian
    • to teach (instruct) , to please, to move 

  • On Christian Doctrine
    • A. claims this isn't a codification of rules
    • Recalling Aristotle, he states that clearly lies can be attractive, so it's foolish to believe that truth shouldn't be similarly adorned.
    • However, scriptural truth should't be distorted, but it should be presented to best advantage.
