Augustine’s Homilies on the Psalms remains one of the most significant works of patristic biblical interpretation. In these sermons, the Psalms are not treated merely as ancient poetry, but as the living prayer book of the Church—the voice of Christ, the voice of the believer, and the voice of the people of God across the ages.

This final volume includes some of the most beloved and climactic psalms in Scripture. Readers will encounter Augustine’s reflections on the Songs of Ascents, where the Church is portrayed as a pilgrim people journeying toward the heavenly city; Psalm 119, with its sustained meditation on the law and word of God; and the final hymns of praise culminating in Psalm 150. Throughout, psalms of thanksgiving, worship, wisdom, and triumph become occasions for profound pastoral instruction and theological reflection.

More than a commentary, these homilies are sermons shaped for the life of the Church. Augustine teaches his hearers how to worship, how to live as pilgrims in the present age, how to delight in the word of God, and how to recognize Christ throughout the Psalter. His deeply Christological reading of Scripture and his vision of the Church as the body of Christ make this volume an enduring resource for theological study and spiritual formation.

Whether you are a student of early Christianity, a pastor preparing to preach the Psalms, or a reader seeking classic Christian devotion, this volume brings to completion one of the Church’s greatest expositions of Scripture.
