The main objective of this study is to explain how Augustine understands the divine operation of inspiration to function in the human process of composing sacred texts and reading them. The questions of interest to this study include the following: What does it mean that a human author composes, speaks, or acts under inspiration? What sorts of texts are inspired? What effect does inspiration have on the psychology and experience of human recipients? And finally what implications does the author's inspired experience have for reading his text? In light of these questions, this study will demonstrate that Augustine uses the word "inspiration" to indicate an inclusive encounter between God and Christians in the exclusive context of the church whereby God does not remove the natural faculties of knowing or willing in the human process of writing or speaking but rather infuses truth (cognitive inspiration) or love (volitional inspiration) into the human recipient, and this inspired experience then becomes not only the source and context for the composition of ecclesiastical writings---whether canonical or not---but also the context and condition for reading the same writings (reader-inspiration). Naturally, the overarching principle of this study is that the operation of inspiration is the same whenever a higher mode of being (God or devil) internally affects a lower mode of being (human soul of author or reader) in a specific way. The assumption here is that identical language and formulas in similar contexts indicate similar meanings. Otherwise, if there were no univocal aspect common to the various applications of inspiration, Augustine's entire usage of inspiration would be tainted by equivocation.
