First Epistle of St. John
and Homilies of the First Epistle of St. John by St. Augustine -
For Lent this year our Christian Classics Discussion Group will be reading two famous works on Christian love: the First Epistle of John and the Homilies on the First Epistle of John by Saint Augustine.
Saint Augustine's ten homilies on the First Epistle of John are a collection of evening talks that he gave after Easter in 407. They are among his greatest and most influential works. John and Augustine both develop the same central theme of love. In these homilies Augustine uses John's epistle as a point of departure for exploring the meaning and implications of love with his customary profundity, passion and analytic rigor.
Homilies on the First Epistle of John is available in paperback from Amazon
