The article depicts the Augustinian contexts in which one can talk about God, and shows how to do it, according to Saint Augustine.

The article deals with the marks that sixteenth century augustinianism left on biblical exegesis at the Louvain Faculty of Theology. As an example of it, the works of Cornelius Jansenius of Ghent are studied, stressing their double purpose: the scholarly exegetical approach, and the spiritual and pastoral-liturgical goal. The works of Thomas Stapleton, Promptuaria and Antidota, are studied, outlining their intention of counteracting the biblical interpretations of Calvin, Beza and the other reformers.
