Expositions of the Psalms 99-120

Fifth volume of the long-awaited translation of one of Augustine’s classics and a great work in Christian literature. Newly translated by Maria Boulding, O.S.B., whose masterful translation of Augustine’s Confessions in the same series has been praised as being “of a different level of excellence from practically anything else in the market” (Bishop Rowan Williams, Monmouth, England). 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. They recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine’s personal life, his theological reflections, and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo.

In obedience to God's will we now propose to deal with the verses of this great
psalm which begin, The Lord is the portion allotted to me or, ... But how are we to
keep it unless the life-giving Spirit grants us the power and comes to our help?
