Augustine's way of speaking about God has been frequently deplored. It has been dismissed as too confident regarding the content of its assertions and too narrowly confined. The reception of Augustine's work appears to indicate that there was not a little truth to this view. Augustine's affirmative statements on God's essence and activities constituted the 'initial capital' of Christian theology and spirituality. In contemporary religion, a tendency is in evidence to deny that too specific an image of God can really contain absolute truth. Fully formulated religious truths have to be placed in perspective, or must even be deconstructed, especially if the suspicion arises that they inhibit openness to authentic religious experiences of unity and harmony. Given such an outlook on religion, it seems understandable that those who take contemporary culture's renewed interest in religion seriously ignored Augustine's work as an authoritative source for 'post-Christian' discourse about God.

In the course of the past years an interest in the mystagogy of the Church Fathers developed at various Dutch universities. Interest in the mystagogy of the Church Fathers increased because it was recognised that its study did justice both to the intention of the Church Fathers themselves and to the increasing demand for spirituality. It was not their primary intention to put forward a rational reflection on the depositum fidei as such or to pass on knowledge of this as a goal in itself. Their goal was rather to initiate a process aimed not so much at intellectual formation as at an existential transformation by means of rituals, catechesis and the explanation of stories and images from biblical traditions. In this book the main focus was on the mystagogy of the Church Fathers. The assumption was that philological, historical and theological methods complement each other in the approach to the Church Fathers as mystagogues. Consequently the manner in which they attempt to shape their introduction into the mystery of Christ was regarded from an interdisciplinary point of view. The contributions to this book form a first sketch of the research area of the mystagogy of the Church Fathers, as it is taking shape at present.

En la monografía de Paul van Geest encontrará el lector una exposición detallada y precisa de la lucha de Agustín, a lo largo de toda su vida, por mantener el equilibrio entre la palabra y el silencio acerca de Dios. A hablar estaba obligado como sacerdote y obispo. En la Escritura encontraba lo que Dios había revelado acerca de sí mismo. La palabra era una necesdiad, para exponer la doctrina de la fe, para combatir los errores, para dar testimonio de la verdad. Pero precisamente para ello mismo se hacía inevitable la vía negativa, para no comprometer la verdad misma que nos sobrepasa, para no reducirla a lo que nosotros podemos entender y, en último término, para no tener la pretensión de dominarla. La aceptación de la ignorancia es también una forma elevada de conocimiento.
