Augustine's Commentary on the Psalms

Course Description

Course Description: In this class we will read portions of Augustine of Hippo’s Commentary on the Psalms. Our objective will be two-fold. First, we will read the Latin and translate it in order to understand the grammatico-syntactic structures Augustine uses. Second, we will discuss Augustine’s interpretative strategies: how he understands the relationship between the psalms and the individual Christian and Jesus Level: Since in our discussions we will base ourselves on St. Ambrose’s original Latin text, familiarity with Latin grammar, morphology, and vocabulary is strongly preferred Textbook: Instructor will provide materials
