Description:
This second edition features convenient footnotes rather than the previously used end notes in the original edition. "....supersedes all other English editions" Carol Harrison, University of Durham.
Brief description: Fr. Edmund Hill was for many years a member of the Priory of St Michael, Archangel, Cambridge. He was a widely respected scholar of St Augustine, and consultant translator to the Augustinian Heritage Institute.
Review Quotes:
What Father Hill has provided is a splendid translation, made from a trustworthy Latin text, of what is for some of us the foundation work of Christian theology. He has fitted out his translation, clearly the best of the four that have been made into English, with notes that go well beyond the perfunctory and a 38-page introduction that is a delight to read.
Barry Ulanov, Journal of Religion and Health
Hill has recovered the De trinitate for Augustine: its dynamism, its intimacy are back; the voice, that of the author of The Confessions and The Sermons, is once again recognizable to English readers.
John C. Cavadini, Notre Dame in the Journal of Early Christian Studies.
