De doctrina Christiana, or On Christian Doctrine, is a celebrated work by Augustine of Hippo, consisting of four insightful books that serve as a vital guide for interpreting and teaching the Scriptures. In the first three books, published in 397, Augustine details the essential roles of Christian teachers and preachers uncovering the truth within the Scriptures, sharing that truth with others, and defending it against challenges.
