Homilies on the Gospel of John, Volume Three: John 13–21 brings Augustine’s monumental exposition of the Fourth Gospel to its conclusion. Here the public ministry of Christ gives way to the intimacy of the Upper Room, the sorrow and triumph of the passion, and the joy of the resurrection. Augustine guides his hearers through some of the most theologically profound and pastorally searching chapters in all of Scripture.

This edition is a careful revision of the classic translation found in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, Volume 7. Archaic language has been updated and sentence structures smoothed for modern readability, while preserving the theological depth, pastoral force, and rhetorical cadence of Augustine’s preaching.

Readers will encounter sustained reflection on themes central to John 13–21: love and unity among believers, abiding in Christ, the promise of the Holy Spirit, the meaning of Christ’s suffering and death, and the certainty of the resurrection. Augustine’s preaching moves from close engagement with the biblical text to searching application, calling readers not merely to understand the Gospel, but to live in its light.

This volume includes Homilies 55–124, corresponding to John 13–21, and completes the three-volume set of Augustine’s homilies on the Gospel of John. Whether used for personal study, teaching, sermon preparation, or devotional reading, these homilies remain a profound guide to the closing chapters of John’s Gospel and a lasting witness to the preaching of the early church.
