In the story of Noah’s Ark, God provided one vessel of salvation in the midst of a world swallowed by sin and destruction. Centuries later, Saint Augustine looked at this familiar account and uncovered a deeper mystery. For him, the Ark was not just a ship of wood and pitch, but a prophetic image of Christ’s Church—God’s single refuge in the flood of history.
The Ark’s wood pointed to the wood of the Cross. Its waters foreshadowed baptism. Its door prefigured the pierced side of Christ. Even the pitch that bound its timbers spoke to the love that binds the Church together. Just as there was only one Ark, Augustine taught that there is only one true Church—the vessel of salvation journeying through this world toward eternity.
Stay with me as we explore St. Augustine’s powerful vision of the Church as the new Noah’s Ark, a sacred commentary found in his masterpiece, The City of God.
