| Summary: | Maria Boulding's remarkable recent translations of Augustine of Hippo's expositions of the Psalms (Enarrationes in Psalmos) in the series published by New City Press have opened up this rich if dauntingly massive set of texts to a new generation of readers and interpreters. Jason Byassee offers a perceptive and engaging reading of the Enarrationes that aims not only to explore Augustine's work but, as importantly, to school the Church's pastors and teachers in habits of allegorical reading, with the conscious aim of helping people to live flourishing and faithful lives of Christian discipleship., As the title of the book suggests, the reading of Scripture is not a matter of dispassionate investigation, but of praise seeking understanding. |
