Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers 1.8: Saint Augustin: Expositions on the Book of Psalms (Catholic Edition)
Overview
Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume VIII: Saint Augustin: Expositions on the Book of Psalms. The Early Church Fathers is one of the most important collections of historical, philosophical and theological writings available in English to the student of the Christian Church. These documents provide the most comprehensive witness to the development of Christianity and Christian thought during the period immediately following the Apostolic Era. The Catholic edition of Early Church Fathers does not include the introductions, prolegomenae, and various interpretive comments made by the protestant editors of the Edinburgh edition. However, it retains all of the footnotes found in the printed editions.

“‘Blessed is the man that hath not gone away in the counsel of the ungodly,’ as ‘the man of earth did,’2 who consented to his wife deceived by the serpent, to the transgressing the commandment of God. ‘Nor stood in the way of sinners.’” (Page 1)
