متن يادداشت
The article first explores Augustine's conspicuous references to 'God's Hand' in his Confessions by presenting a fresh translation and brief commentary of the relevant texts. In the commentary special attention is given to the possible signifiance of these texts to (former) Manichaean readers. It is concluded that Augustine's eye-catching imagery is not only inspired by biblical language and-in all likelihood-by predecessors in the Christian tradition such as Irenaeus and especially Ambrose, but also strikingly coincides with an essential metaphor of the Manichaeans. This feature once again underlines the importance of the Manichaean element in Augustine's Confessions.
