Of all his works, it is Augustine's sermons that give us the best portrayal of this brilliant and profoundly spiritual man presenting and interpreting the divine mysteries to his own people.

Augustine during Advent,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 15. St. Augustine: Sermons for Christmas and Epiphany (Ancient Christian Writers) (Hardcover)
This collection of sermons are beautiful in the way they are written, and deserving of a wide and far reading. Augustine, in my opinion, is the greatest of writers of the Early Church Fathers, maybe only being matched by Chrysostom. This collection is very easy to read, and because they were sermons, each selection is a nice length, perfect for devotions during the Advent and Christmas seasons. There are also sermons for Epiphany, and the beginning of the New Year. As with any of the Early Church writings the quality of translation is paramount as to that reading acessibility. In this series, Ancient Christian Writers, all the trasnslations are modern and seem to be very well done. Do yourself a favor, and start reading the Church fathers with this selection.
