== Criticism of Faustus ==
Although initially mentored by Faustus of Mileve, Augustine became highly critical of Faustus and wrote extensively against him. As explained scholar, Augustine's view was that:
{{cquote|Jesus' Jewishness grounds salvation in actual human history. When Christ humanly fulfilled Scripture's cornerstone commands to love God and neighbor, he “made the Law grace and truth.” That revealed the contours of continuity-within-change between the Testaments wherein the New lay in the Old “like fruit in the root.” Now a distinctive Christian mode of reading receives grace from the Law and truth from the Prophets, while it also discerns the dynamics of Christ's love and justice in the narratives about Israel's ancient saints.
