Vox totius Christi, Head, Body, members, interpretationAbstract
The basic thought in Augustine´s interpretation of psalm 69 (68) is the voice of the entire Christ. He shows us, that in the psalm, the entire Christ speaks as head and body in the passion. One only has to recognize the vox capitis, and if one cannot attribute the words of the psalm to the head, he should, then, ascribe them to the body. But for Augustine, it is one only Christ anyway, because if the head and the body are one flesh (carne una), then they are one voice (voce una). Augustine would rather show the words of the members of Christ to prove that the entire Christ (totus Christus) speaks here.
