Here available in English for the first time, Augustine's Commentary on Galatians is his only complete, formal commentary on any book of the Bible. Since Galatians was commented upon by all the ancient Latin commentators, it provides a basis for comparing them and for identifying Augustine's special concerns and emphases. Plumer's translation features facing Latin text, and he provides a comprehensive introduction and copious notes. Editorial Reviews Review `Review from previous edition ... lucid and clear ... Beautifully produced, this edition offers very full notes and an ample bibliography, for which both author and publisher must be thanked ... a valuable contribution to scholarship on Augustine, on fourth-century Latin patristics, and on the history of exegesis.' Journal of Religion`... excellent ... While not always solving problems, the book clarifies many of them ... well worth the investment.'
