'Augustine's sermons have long inspired audiences with their theological depth and rhetorical mastery. Andrew Hofer, O.P., has assembled a team of first-class scholars to provide crucial background to Augustine's preaching and to explore themes central to his pastoral project. While this volume will be indispensable to scholars of early Christianity and homiletics, it will also profit all readers interested in Augustine and the transmission of the gospel.'
