What this is
A hundred and twenty-four discourses taking the gospel of St John from end to end. They are the longest sustained thing Augustine wrote on any book of scripture.
How it survives
Delivered at Hippo between about 406 and 420, partly preached and partly dictated, and preserved complete in Latin.
What is here
All 124, complete and in order.
Reading it beside the gospel
Each piece carries the verses it is on and a door straight into that chapter of St John; each chapter of the gospel offers the pieces that expound it. A piece covers from its own text to the next one’s, so a chapter nobody began a sermon on is still reached by the sermon it falls inside.
