Flos studii ioanne Buitendag sexagenario oblatus', Journal of Early Christian History, vol. 5, no. 1, pp. 144-157.2222-582Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/2263/52042This article, for the first time, analyses one of Augustine’s sermons in order to find out to what extent he was acquainted with Mani and his teachings. Once again, it turns out that the former Manichaean auditor was very well acquainted with Manichaean belief and practice. One piece of data in sermo 182, namely that Manicheans could make polemical use of the expression Libera nos a malo in the Lord’s Prayer, even seems to be unique.en© Unisa PressAugustineManichaeismSermonsAugustine’s sermo 182The Lord’s prayer1 John 4:1-3‘Docetism'Doctrine of evilArticle
