Description: Essential Expositions of the Psalms is a collection distilled from the 6-volume set in the Works of Saint Augustine. As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought.
Review Quotes:
"Cameron's 50 page introduction with copious notes is a masterful overview of the Expositions and of the most recent scholarship on this essential part of the Augustinian corpus. His thoughtful selection and creative presentation of 19 Psalms and Augustine's expositions of them is the best primer on this subject in any language. Augustine scholar Pope Benedict reminded us that the Psalms teach us how to pray and that in them the Word of God becomes a word of prayer. Cameron's scholarship invites us inside Augustine's own prayerful exploration of the human heart through the inspired words of the Psalter."
