In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras: Paciencia e inquisición en Agustín de Hipona
Keywords:
Agustín, patientia, suicidio, donatismo, paulismo.Abstract
The following paper analyzes the relevance of the concept of patientia in the thought and work
of Augustine of Hippo in relation to the application of imperial legislation against dissident
communities to Roman Catholicism in Africa. The text has three sections and a conclusion.
The first part analyzes the role of Augustine in the struggle against the Donatist resistance in
Africa, paying special attention to Augustine's reply to the biblical reading of his adversaries.
In the second part, the theological foundation against the “martyrology” elaborated by the
Donatist resistance is analyzed on the basis of an analysis of Augustine's treatise on patience.
Finally, the concept of patientia in Civitate Dei is positioned, showing its relationship with
Augustinian eschatology. The conclusions reflect on the concept of “inversion of Christianity”,
problematizing the role and place of Pauline theology in Augustine's thought and work.
