Augustine's Commentary on Galatians : Introductions, Text, Translation, and Notes
Outline: Augustine's Commentary on Galatians is his only complete, formal commentary on any book of the Bible and offers unique insights into his understanding of Paul and of his own task as a biblical interpreter. In addition to the English translation with facing Latin text, this volume provides a comprehensive introduction and copious notes. Since Galatians happens to be the only biblical book commented on by all the ancient Latin commentators, it affords a basis for comparing them and for identifying Augustine's special concerns and emphases. Augustine's Commentary also has crucial links to other works he wrote at the time. His emphasis on Galatians as a pastoral letter designed to preserve and strengthen Christian unity links the commentary to his monastic rule, while his method and sources link it to, and indeed pave the way for, the theory of biblical interpretation set forth in De Doctrina Christiana.
