This paper argues that Christological logic governs Augustine's doctrine of creation. For Augustine, the Word not only redeems but also configures and heals creation. Building on readings that frame Augustine's cosmology dualistically—pitting nature against grace, body against soul, creation against redemption—I contend that Augustine consistently interprets creation through Christ as the Ars Dei: the divine Wisdom in whom all things are made, sustained, and restored. Even from the moment of Creation, salvation history was oriented toward the Word made flesh. Drawing primarily on Confessions, the paper traces how Augustine integrates the 'primordial causes' within a Christocentric metaphysics. This framework allows Augustine to reconceive creaturely suffering as a locus of eucatastrophic redemption, presaging the Incarnation, Passion, and Redemption. The cross, rather than negating the goodness of creation, reveals its deepest grammar: a reality structured for participation, reformation, and glorification through the incarnate Word. By placing Augustine's Christology of creation in dialogue with ancient tragic accounts of suffering, the paper shows how an Augustinian description of reality resists both metaphysical pessimism and Panglossian optimism. Instead, it offers a vision of the cosmos as meaningfully ordered through Christ, capable of bearing suffering without collapsing into absurdity. In doing so, the paper contributes to the panel's aim of retrieving an Augustinian Christology of creation that is at once exegetically grounded, philosophically coherent, and ethically urgent for a fractured world.
