Homilies on the Gospel of John, Volume Two: John 6–12 continues Augustine’s extended exposition of the Fourth Gospel, carrying the reader into some of its most theologically rich and pastorally significant chapters. Here Augustine expounds Christ’s declaration as the Bread of Life, the response of belief and unbelief among the crowds, and the mounting conflict that surrounds Jesus’ public teaching.

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

Readers will find sustained reflection on themes central to John 6–12: spiritual nourishment, true faith, the significance of Christ’s signs, the division caused by his teaching, and the growing awareness that the hour of his passion draws near. Augustine’s exposition moves seamlessly between close reading of the biblical text and searching application to the Christian life.

This volume includes Homilies 24–54, corresponding to John 6–12, and forms the second part of a three-volume set covering Augustine’s complete homilies on the Gospel of John. Whether for personal study, sermon preparation, or devotional use, these homilies remain a rich guide to the Gospel and a profound witness to the preaching of the early church.
