Description :
The Works of St. Augustine, A Translation for the 21st Century initiated by the
late Fr. John Rotelle, OSA has made available to the English-speaking world
an unprecedented number of AugustineÂ’s works formerly available only in
Latin. There has been an explosion in Augustinian scholarship throughout the
last five decades. Until recently, the secondary literature tended to focus on
AugustineÂ’s major treatises: the Confessions, The Trinity, Teaching
Christianity, and the City of God, the works commonly available in modern
language translation. Now a plethora of lesser known works including his
sermons and letters has provided new insight into this complex and talented
theologian. The eleven volumes of AugustineÂ’s popular sermons (Sermones
ad populum) including the recently discovered Dolbeau sermons expertly
translated by Fr. Edmund Hill (1910-1997) in clear, contemporary English
showcase Augustine the brilliant speaker and engaging preacher of the Word
and have proven an indispensable resource for contemporary scholarship.
Peter Brown and other leading Augustine scholars have turned to the sermons
as an indispensable source to nuance and reappraise their earlier positions.
HillÂ’s translation and extensive notes have received many accolades by
scholars but professors have clamored for a one volume anthology in
paperback form that would be affordable to students and that could be used as
required texts in teaching undergraduates, graduate students and
seminarians. Fr. Doyle has undertaken that task and has carefully chosen an
anthology that is representative of the bishopÂ’s finest preaching on a wide
range of subjects including God, Christ, sin, grace, conversion, martyrdom,
sacraments, marriage, wealth, poverty, Christmas, Easter and living the
Christian life. Students and preachers alike will discover AugustineÂ’s
masterful interpretation of the Word of God and creative skills in engaging the
people of God by using the finest rhetorical skills available to his time based
on the principles taught by Cicero. To engage Christians the preacher must
first capture their attention (delectare) in order to teach (docere) fundamental
saving truths to persuade (flectere) them to live a life of discipleship and put
into practice such high ideals. Essential Sermons will include mostly whole
sermons with a brief introduction but in some cases powerful excerpts from
lengthy homilies that would have been impossible to incorporate in a one
volume work. Fr. Doyle has written a concise Introduction to AugustineÂ’s
preaching and has included a table of themes for easy and convenient
consultation.
