Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homilies on the Gospel According to St. John and His First Epistle, Vol. 1 of 2 Frequent preaching in the congregation was held by St. Augustine to be an indispensable part of a Bishop´s duty; and to his own unremitting assiduity as a Preacher we are indebted at this day for most that remains of his invaluable labours as an Interpreter. Few, comparatively, of his exegetical works were composed at leisure in the closet. Thus his great work on the Psalter consists chiefly of Sermons which he had preached from time to time, for the most part before he had conceived the design of forming a complete exposition of the Psalms. Of the Enarrations which were not preached, Possidius reckons only twenty-six: the remaining hundred and twenty-three were "tractatus," that is, not "commentarii," but Sermons ad populum. Towards the close of the year 415, we find St. Augustine intent upon finishing what was necessary to complete this work, (Epist. 169, 1.) and it appears that he had but just brought it to a conclusion, when he took in hand to expound the entire Gospel of St. John, in a course of Sermons; which, together with a course on the First Epistle, delivered in Easter-week, occupied most part, if not the whole, of the year 416. Only in this way was he permitted by the multiplicity of his avocations to put forth a continuous interpretation of the Theological Gospel.
