Publisher Description Now available in English for the first time, Augustines 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. Yet it is one of his least known works today - and this despite its importance in the past for such major figures as Aquinas, Luther, Erasmus, and Newman. The present volume seeks to remedy this situation by providingnot only an English translation with facing Latin text, but also a comprehensive introduction and copious notes. Since Galatians happens to be the only biblical book commented upon by all the ancientLatin commentators - including Jerome, Pelagius, Ambrosiaster, and Marius Victorinus, as well as Augustine - it provides a basis for comparing them and for identifying Augustines special concerns and emphases. Augustines Commentary also has crucial links to other works he wrote at the time, especially his monastic rule and De Doctrina Christiana. Augustines emphasis on Galatians as a pastoral letter designed to preserve and strengthen Christian unity links the commentary to hismonastic rule, while his method and sources link it to, and indeed pave the way for, the theory of biblical interpretation set forth in the De Doctrina Christiana.
