Preachers, teachers, and Christians across the globe have found the passionate, pastoral, and psychologically astute writings of St. Augustine of Hippo fresh and relevant century after century.
Now a new translation of St. Augustine's Homilies on the Gospel of John (New City Press) has arrived just in time for a month of summer preaching on John 6. This online master class with renowned Augustine scholars Rowan Williams and John Cavadini will focus specifically on Augustine's homilies on John 6.
