Tolle Lege, take up and read! These words from St. Augustine perfectly describe the human condition. Reading is the universal pilgrimage of the soul. In reading we journey to find ourselves and to save ourselves. The ultimate journey is reading the Great Books. In the Great Books we find the struggle of the human soul, its aspirations, desires, and failures. Through reading, we find faces and souls familiar to us even if they lived a thousand years ago. The unread life is not worth living, and in reading we may well discover what life is truly about and prepare ourselves for the pilgrimage of life.

Illuminating the thorny question of what constitutes a "plain sense" reading of scripture via exegesis of Genesis by three preeminent Christian theologians from the 5th, 16th, and 20th centuries, Greene- McCreight (religious studies, Connecticut College) proposes a hermeneutic solution relating the literal sense of the text to the church's Rule of Faith. The author's discussion of the nature of the problem encompasses the retention of the Old Testament, its Christological interpretation, ruled reading, and readers' narrative self-locating. Includes a list of works cited. Indexed by scripture references, subjects, and names. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

"As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. 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.
