Homilies on the Psalms, Volume Two

Augustine’s remains one of the most significant works of patristic biblical interpretation. In these sermons, the Psalms are not treated merely as ancient poetry, but as the living prayer book of the Church—the voice of Christ, the voice of the believer, and the voice of the people of God across the ages. This second volume includes some of the most spiritually and theologically rich psalms in Scripture. Readers will encounter Augustine’s reflections on Psalm 42, with its profound longing for God; Psalm 50, one of the great penitential psalms of the Christian tradition; and Psalm 72, with its royal and messianic themes pointing toward the reign of Christ. Throughout, psalms of lament, confession, trust, and praise become occasions for profound pastoral instruction and theological reflection.
