Synopsis

This book offers a thorough examination of Augustine's exegetical writings on the Gospels with specific focus on his Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, the Harmony of the Gospels, and select sermons on the New Testament. The author explores Augustine's methodology, principles, and unique allegorical interpretations alongside his more conventional exegesis influenced by his belief in the literal truth of Scripture. The text examines the depth of Augustine's insights, which combine profound spiritual understanding with a remarkable knowledge of Scripture as a whole and meticulous philological analysis. This book will be indispensable for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Augustine's exegetical thought and its enduring influence on biblical interpretation.
