Abstract
The article first explores Augustineâs conspicuous references to âGodâs Handâ in his Confessions by presenting a fresh translation and brief commentary of the relevant texts. In the commentary special attention is given to the possible signifiance of these texts to (former) Manichaean readers. It is concluded that Augustineâs eye-catching imagery is not only inspired by biblical language andâin all likelihoodâby predecessors in the Christian tradition such as Irenaeus and especially Ambrose, but also strikingly coincides with an essential metaphor of the Manichaeans. This feature once again underlines the importance of the Manichaean element in Augustineâs Confessions.
