Exposition on the Book of Psalms (Vol 5 - Psalms 102-125)

Augustine of Hippo, the great Bishop of Hippo, delivered these sermons to his congregation in the late 4th and early 5th centuries. What makes them matter is how they bridge the ancient poetry of David with the living faith of the early Church. These are not dry theological treatises but passionate, pastoral addresses that wrestle with the Psalms' raw emotion, lament and praise, desperation and hope, and reveal Christ hidden within them. Volume 5 covers Psalms 102-125, a remarkable range from the individual cry of a suffering soul to the communal affirmation of divine protection. Augustine reads these texts as a Christian, finding in David's words both the struggles of the faithful and the anticipation of the Messiah. His interpretations are deeply personal, weaving doctrine into the texture of human longing. This volume captures some of the most beloved Psalms, making it an ideal entry point for readers seeking to understand how the Church's greatest teacher heard these ancient prayers. It endures because Augustine's method, connecting every human emotion to divine love, remains vital for anyone who prays with the Psalms today.
