| Summary: | This article analyzes the presence of Augustine in the texts which Jean Gerson (1363-1429) wrote during the years of the Council of Constance. In particular, it focuses on how the Parisian chancellor made use of quotations from Augustine on doctrinal authority (De civitate Dei 10.23), biblical exegesis (Epistola 40 3; Contra epistolam Manichaei 5.6), and on the power of the keys (Sermo 295 2) to support his views on the role theologians had in defining the truths of the faith, their place within the ecclesiastical hierarchy, the nature and limits of papal power, and the relationship between pope and council. |
