Augustine of Hippo is one of the greatest thinkers and writers in the Western world. After becoming a Christian he was made bishop of Hippo in Africa, where he was influential in civil and church affairs. His more than 100 books, 200 letters, and 500 sermons have left a lasting impact on Western philosophy and culture. His classic and best-selling works include The Confessions, The Trinity, The City of God, and Teaching Christianity.
"As the psalms reflect the history of the people of Israel, the
theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of
human experience expressed in prayer, so too does the work of
expounding the psalms summarize the experiences of Augustine's
personal life, his theological reflections, and his pastoral
concerns as a bishop... Sister Maria Boulding has made a masterful
new translation of the Expositons with helpful critical notes."H.
