Synopsis
In his preaching, St Augustine developed an oratorical style based on the classical rhetoric he had learned prior to his conversion which he adapted to the unique demands of Christian preaching. He still recognised the classical ends of rhetoric: to teach, to please and to persuade. He gave, however, the place of most importance to content: what was said was more important than how it was said. The result is a method of preaching that is clear, lively and well-suited to its purpose. Just as Augustine's oratorical style was subordinated to the demands of preaching the gospel of Christ, so also his method of commentary was influenced by his duty as pastor at Hippo to instruct his flock in matters of faith and morals. His commentary, then, contains more than exegesis. His reflections on scripture lead him to discussions of both moral action and dogma. Augustine's extemporaneous style and broad range of interests are evident in the tractates included in this volume, in which he comments on chapters 7-12 of St John's Gospel.These chapters contain some of the best-known episodes from the life of Christ: the encounter with the woman caught in adultery; the healing of the man born blind; the raising of Lazarus from the dead; Mary's anointing of Christ's feet; and Christ's triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. The passages also contain some of Christ's most explicit teaching of his divinity. In unfolding the mysteries contained in these chapters of St John, Augustine moves easily from exegesis to reflections on moral virtue and doctrine, especially the Trinity and the Incarnation. But he never loses sight of his audience. Even in his comments on the loftiest of ideas, he strives to make his teaching accessible to everyone. Augustine's preaching shows us not only his brilliant mind and rhetorical skill as he expounds upon the scriptures, but also the great love he had for Christ and for the faithful entrusted to his care.

Rich in Christology and Trinitarian Thought
22. September 2011
These works of Augustine are invaluable if one desires to understand western patristic Christology and Augustine's trinitarian beliefs. The reader will be richly rewarded intellectually, theologically and spiritually from the writings of the Bishop of Hippo.
