    Most readers first encounter Augustines love for Scriptures words in the many biblical allusions of his masterwork, the Confessions. Augustine does not merely quote texts, but in many ways makes Scripture itself tell the story. In his journey from darkness to light, Augustine becomes Adam in the Garden of Eden, the Prodigal Son of Jesus parable, and the Pauline double personality at once devoted to and rebellious against Gods law. Throughout he speaks the words of the Psalms as if he had written them. Crucial to Augustines self-portrayal is his skill at transposing himself into the texts. He sees their properties and dynamics as his own, and by extension, every believing readers own. In Christ Meets Me Everywhere, Michael Cameron argues that Augustine wanted to train readers of Scripture to transpose themselves into the texts in the same way he did, by the same process of figuration that he found at Scriptures core. Augustine discovered this skill by learning to read Scripture as a work of divine rhetoric that mirrors the humility of the human Christ who forms humble readers to ascend its spiritual heights. Tracking Augustines developing skill in reading Scriptures figures as microcosms of the history of salvation during the first fifteen years of his Christian life, Cameron shows how Christs self-transposition into Scriptures readers became the key to Augustines hermeneutics.
