Synopsis

This book presents a series of homilies or sermons delivered by Saint Augustine in the late 4th century AD. These homilies primarily focus on the Gospel of John, examining its themes of light, life, and the Word of God. Written in the early days of Christianity, they offer insights into the historical and theological context in which the Gospel was written. The author's allegorical interpretations of the Gospel provide a glimpse into the development of Christian thought and the ways in which early Christians understood their scriptures. By delving into the complexities of the Gospel's message, this collection provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental beliefs and practices of early Christianity and its enduring significance for contemporary readers.
