Few ancient Christian authors attempted anything like a complete commentary
on the Gospel of John, among them Origen, John Chrysostom and Augustine. Of
these, Augustine,,s must count as the greatest. Unlike Origen,,s, it has come
down to us in its entirety, and of the others that remain it is certainly
the most theologically profound. John,,s gospel allows Augustine to range
broadly over themes that were his life’s work —the Trinity, the
person of Christ, the nature of the Church and its sacraments, the fulfillment
of the divine plan.
The 124 homilies that constitute Augustine,,s commentary, however, are masterpieces
not only of theological profundity but also of pastoral engagement. In the
question-and-answer style that he frequently employs, for example, one can
sense Augustine,,s real awareness of his congregation,,s struggles with the
gospel text. And the congregation,,s response to Augustine, which he frequently
alludes to, is an indication of the success of his dialogical preaching style.
The Johannine literature drew out the best in Augustine. The Homilies on the
Gospel of John are the indispensible complement to The Homilies on The First
Epistle of John, recently published in this series, and they should be a part
of any serious theological library.
