Description

In this book, St. Augustine, leads us to discover and defend the truths of Scripture, and urges us to interpret it with the light of faith, hope, and charity, in order to understand the Word of God fully. He devises the means to recognize figurative expressions and doubtful language, and suggests consulting primary sources, committing difficult terms to memory, and familiarizing ourselves with the meaning of frequently used symbols, such as "shepherd" and "sheep." For those who teach Scripture, St. Augustine says they must teach in all honesty, and not for self-serving purposes. This book offers an impressive wealth of practical wisdom for reading the Bible. It soon becomes apparent that St. Augustine earnestly wanted us to understand the Word of God.

Author Biography:

Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis, AD 354-430, was Bishop of Hippo Regius. He was a philosopher and theologian from Roman Africa. St. Jerome, his contemporary, said: "He established anew the ancient Faith," and scholars have since recognized him as the most important figure in how the tenets of the Church are taught. He stands as a powerful advocate for orthodoxy and the bishops, seeing in them the means for dispensing saving grace, and serves as a bridge between the ancient and medieval worlds. St. Augustine said: "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you."
