New Testament I and II represents Vol. I/15 and I/16 in the Works
of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century. The present
volume contains the translations of four works, all of which are
exegetical treatises of one sort or another: The Lord's Sermon on
the Mount, Agreement among the Evangelists, Questions on the
Gospels and Seventeen Questions on Matthew. Each of the four works
are accompanied by its own introduction, general index, and
scripture index. The Lord's Sermon on the Mount (translated by
Michael Campbell, OSA) is an exegesis of chapters five through
seven of Matthew's Gospel, but Augustine's explanation of the
Sermon is more a charter of Christian morality and spirituality
than mere exegesis of the text and brings a unity to the lengthy
discourse that goes far beyond an account of what the text says.
Augustine wrote Agreement among the Evangelists in 400,
contemporaneously with the composition of his Confessions (397 -
401).The treatise, translated by Kim Paffenroth, is an attempt to
defend the veracity of the four evangelists in the face of seeming
incompatibilities in their record of the gospel events, especially
against some pagan philosophers who raised objections to the gospel
narratives based on alleged inconsistencies. Questions on the
Gospels and Seventeen Questions on Matthew are translated by Roland
Teske, SJ. Questions on the Gospels is a record of questions that
arose when Augustine was reading the Gospels of Matthew and Luke
with a disciple. The answers to the questions are not intended to
be commentaries on the Gospels in their entirety but merely
represent the answers to the questions that arose for the student
at the time. Seventeen Questions on Matthew is similarly in the
question-and-answer genre and is most likely by Augustine, but it
includes some paragraphs at the end that are certainly not his. For
all those who are interested in the greatest classics of Christian
antiquity, Augustine's works are indispensable. This long-awaited
translation makes Augustine's monumental work approachable.ABOUT
THE AUTHOR Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the greatest
thinkers and writers of the Western world. After he converted to
Christianity he became bishop of Hippo in North Africa, where he
was influential in civil and church affairs. His writings have had
a lasting impact on Western philosophy and culture.
Does the Bible condone warfare and slavery?
Isn't the New Testament's teaching on sex outdated?
Surely there's not a literal heaven and hell?
These are just some of the questions that popular Bible teacher Andrew
Ollerton asks as he helps us navigate the most challenging topics in
the Bible.
God's Book follows the biblical plotline from Genesis to Revelation and
reveals how to make sense of difficult passages by considering them in
their original setting. When we understand the creation story in its
ancient context, we won't need to choose between science or the Bible.
When we appreciate that the conquest of Canaan was a unique moment in
history, these passages won't justify violence today.
The Bible's 7 toughest topics
- Science versus Creation
- Slavery and Old Testament laws
- Warfare and violence
- Suffering
- Miracles and exorcisms
- Sex
- Heaven, hell and judgement
Andrew concludes each chapter with a letter to a young adult, giving
practical advice on each topic. God's Book is for anyone who is
spiritually curious and wants to make sense of the Bible, and for
Christians who want to share their faith more confidently in today's
culture.
