Expositions of the Psalms,75-98 Vol 4 [Paperback]

Saint Augustine (Author)

Book Description

Series: Expositions of the Psalms | Publication Date: June 1, 2002

Fourth volume of the long-awaited translation of one of Augustines classics and a great work in Christian literature. Newly translated by Maria Boulding, O.S.B., whose masterful translation of Augustines Confessions in the same series has been praised as being of a different level of excellence from practically anything else in the market (Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury). 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. They recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustines personal life, his theological reflections, and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'The Exposition of the Psalms in Sister Maria Boulding's fine translation fills a long existing vacuum among the translated works of Augustine available to contemporary readers. Her clear and attractive translation presents Augustine's expression of his own spirituality, which necessarily entails his most valuable theological insights.' --Mary T. Clark, RSCJ, Author of Augustine in the Outstanding Christian Thinkers Series
