Essential Expositions of the Psalms by Ramsey Augustine (English) Paperback Book

Description: Essential Expositions of the Psalms by Ramsey Augustine, Boniface, Saint Augustine of Hippo "This work offers a manageable sampling of Augustines preached exegesis in general and of his massive Expositions of the Psalms in particular. It attempts to channel the restless spirit of holy inquiry that runs through Augustines Expositions and convey the deep enthrallment with Scripture that pervades its pages"-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Essential Expositions of the Psalms is a collection distilled from the 6-volume set in the Works of Saint Augustine. 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. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustines personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo. Author Biography 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. Review "Camerons 50 page introduction with copious notes is a masterful overview of the Expositions and of the most recent scholarship on this essential part of the Augustinian corpus. His thoughtful selection and creative presentation of 19 Psalms and Augustines expositions of them is the best primer on this subject in any language. Augustine scholar Pope Benedict reminded us that the Psalms teach us how to pray and that in them the Word of God becomes a word of prayer. Camerons scholarship invites us inside Augustines own prayerful exploration of the human heart through the inspired words of the Psalter."Joseph T.
