Revisions (Vol. I/2 (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century)

Revisions, like many of Augustine's works, has a singular purpose. Composed in his old age, he reviews nearly all his writings, summarizing and correcting and even expressing regret. The Revisions is important not only for establishing the chronology of Augustine's works but also for providing insight into his own thought and self-evaluation. The Latin title for this work is Retractationes and the Indiculum of Possidius is included in the Appendix. In 1990, New City Press, in conjunction with the Augustinian Heritage Institute, began the project known as: The Works of Saint Augustine, A Translation for the 21st Century. The plan is to translate and publish all 132 works of Saint Augustine, his entire corpus into modern English. This represents the first time in which The Works of Saint Augustine will all be translated into English. Many existing translations were often archaic or faulty, and the scholarship was outdated. New City Press is proud to offer the best modern translations available. The Works of Saint Augustine, A Translation for the 21st Century will be translated into 49 published books. To date, 41 books have been published by NCP containing 93 of The Works of Saint Augustine, A Translation for the 21st Century. Augustine's writings are useful to anyone interested in patristics, church history, theology and Western civilization. -- Publisher Heresies, Memorandum To Augustine, To Orosius In Refutation Of The Priscillianists And Origenists, Arian Sermon, Answer To An Arian Sermon, Debate With Maximinus, Answer To Maximinus, Answer To An Enemy Of The Law And The Prophets / Heresies -- Memorandum To Augustine -- To Orosius In Refutation Of The Priscillianists And Origenists -- Arian Sermon -- Answer To An Arian Sermon -- Debate With Maximinus -- Answer To Maximinus -- Answer To An Enemy Of The Law And The Prophets.

In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website "Revisions, like many of Augustine's works, has a singular purpose.
