Abstract
The article discusses the nine quotations from the Psalms that are mentioned by Augustine in Book XII of his anti-Manichaean Work contra Faustum, in order to highlight not only how the Psalms reveal the prophetic quality of the Old Testament, but also to compare the form of the Psalm used in the contra Faustum and in the enarrationes in Psalmos, as well as elsewhere in Augustine’s Work. The context in which Augustine comments on the Psalms in the contra Faustum as well as in the enarrationes in Psalmos is brought out. It particularly highlights how Psalm 21 is a psalm considered by Augustine as the paradigm of the prophetic value of the Psalms, and how it could be part of an anti-Manichaean dossier concerning the reading and validity of the Old Testament for Christians.
