Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount
Theological text written by St. Augustine of Hippo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount (originally De sermone Domini in monte) is a book written by the Christian saint Augustine of Hippo in 393.[1][2]
The book is a commentary on Jesus's speech known as the Sermon on the Mount, as presented in the Gospel of Matthew Chapters 5-7. Augustine considered this speech "a perfect standard of the Christian life".[1][3]
Augustine wrote the book in two volumes. In the first volume he studies Chapter 5 and asks, "Is it humanely possible to put the Beatitudes into practice?" The second volume studies Chapters 6 and 7, and offers a condensed theology of prayer.[4]
