Expositions of the Psalms 33-50
Saint Augustine, John E. Rotelle, Maria BouldingPaperback 2002-10-01
"During the Old Testament period ... the New Testament was hidden there as fruit is hidden in the root. If you look
for fruit in the root, of course you find nothing. Yet neither will you find any fruit on the branches, if it has not
sprung from the root." Exp. Ps. 72,1. 462 pp.; (2000)
Publisher Description
Second 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 (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.
