Homilies on the Gospel of John, Volume Three: John 13–21

by Saint Augustine

Homilies on the Gospel of John, Volume Three: John 13–21 brings Augustine’s monumental exposition of the Fourth Gospel to its conclusion. Here the public ministry of Christ gives way to the intimacy of the Upper Room, the sorrow and triumph of the passion, and the joy of the resurrection. Augustine guides his hearers through some of the most theologically profound and pastorally searching chapters in all of Scripture. This edition is a careful revision of the classic translation found in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, Volume 7. Archaic language has been updated and sentence structures smoothed for modern readability, while preserving the theological depth, pastoral force, and rhetorical cadence of Augustine’s preaching.
