Antonine Pseudo-Agustinus

Antonine Pseudo-Agustinus is the name given to a group of anonymous Christian writers from the 2nd or 3rd century who authored texts falsely attributed to Saint Augustine. These writings, called the "Pseudo-Augustinian" texts, often explored theological ideas or discussed Christian doctrine but were not written by Augustine himself. The name "Antonine" indicates their association with the Antonine period of Roman history. Scholars study these works to understand early Christian thought, debates, and the development of Christian doctrine, recognizing them as important but non-authentic contributions to early Christian literature.
