Homilies on the Gospel of John, Volume Two: John 6–12

by Saint Augustine

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.
