This is the first volume of the longawaited 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 Bishop Rowan Williams Monmouth England. 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. This first volume of the Exposition of the Psalms in Sister Maria Bouldings fine translation fills a long existing vacuum among the translated works of Augustine available to contemporary readers. Her clear and attractive translation presents Augustines expression of his own spirituality which necessarily entails his most valuable theological insights.
