De quoi il s'agit
Trois choses en un volume de la série : les homélies sur l'évangile de Jean, celles sur la première épître de Jean, et les Soliloques.
Contexte et histoire
Il vaut la peine de savoir qu'elles voisinent non pour une raison tenant à Augustin, mais parce que les éditeurs du XIXe siècle les ont mises dans le même volume. Les homélies sont une prédication à Hippone ; les Soliloques, eux, sont bien antérieurs — vers 386-387, à peine converti — et forment un dialogue d'Augustin avec la Raison, écrit avant l'épiscopat et avant presque tout ce qu'on lui associe.

5. Accordingly, brethren, of these mountains was John also, who said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This mountain had received peace; he was contemplating the divinity of the Word. Of what sort was this mountain ? How lofty ? He had risen above all peaks of the earth, he had risen above all plains of the sky, he had risen above all heights of the stars, he had risen above all choirs and legions of the angels. For unless he rose above all those things '^ which were created, he would not arrive at Him by whom all things were made. You cannot imagine what he rose above, unless you see at what he arrived. Dost thou inquire concerning heaven and earth ? They were made. Dost thou inquire concerning the things that are in heaven and earth ? Surely much more were they made. Dost thou inquire concerning spiritual beings, concerning angels, archangels, thrones, dominions, powers, principalities ? These also were made. For when the Psalm enumerated all these things, it finished thus: " He spoke, and they were made; He commanded, and they were created." 5 If "He spoke and they were made," it was by the Word that they were made; but if it was by the Word they were - made, the heart of John could not reach to that which he says, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," unless he had risen above all things that were made by the Word. What a mountain this ! How holy ! How high among those mountains that received peace for the people of God, that the hills might receive righteousness !
