| Description: |
"This work offers a manageable sampling of Augustine's preached exegesis in general and of his massive Expositions of the Psalms in particular. It attempts to channel the restless spirit of holy inquiry that runs through Augustine's Expositions and convey the deep enthrallment with Scripture that pervades its pages"-- |
| Synopsis: |
Essential Expositions of the Psalms is a collection distilled from the 6-volume set in the Works of Saint Augustine. As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo. |
