What They're Saying
Critics Review
“These sermons come alive in Griffin’s marvelous translation.” –William Barry, SJ, coauthor of The Practice of Spiritual Direction
“While Augustine was writing landmark theology, he was also preaching earthy, colloquial, witty, Christ-honoring sermons to his African congregation. Now, thanks to this lively translation, he’s preaching them to us.”
–Eugene Peterson, professor emeritus, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia; translator, The Message
“In this delightful translation, Mr. Griffin has recovered the Augustine’s homilies, delivering them all the way into the contemporary idiom, where yet another generation might hear his living voice.” –Scott Cairns, author of Philokalia
