Abstract

62

The mediation of Christ has a profound Christological and anthropological meaning. Mediator is the favourite Christological title used by St Augustine, which he quotes insistently from 1 Tim 2,5 and the theological contents of which he developed. This article analyses the two fundamental texts: the ninth book of De civitate Dei (which is accompanied by some references to the 26th Dolbeau sermon) and sermon 293. From the perspective of these writings and from other references to the Augustinian corpus the nature of the mediation of Christ is examined. After this, the article takes on three main issues: mediator, quia homo, the expression sacramentum mediatoris used by St Augustine, and relationship between the mediation and the priesthood of Christ.
