Zo zijn ongeveer zeshonderd preken van hem bewaard.Voor deze bundel werden achtentwintig preken vertaald van de sermones de scripturis. Dit boek bevat de laatste reeks preken over passages uit brieven van het Nieuwe Testament.

Durante la Messa, dopo che i fedeli avevano cantato un salmo, Agostino ne interpretava i versetti; trascriveva poi l’omelia sulla base di appunti stenografici. Si formò così la raccolta delle Enarrationes in Psalmos, in cui si ritrovano tutti i fondamentali temi agostiniani, intessuti di citazioni bibliche, di metafore e immagini che esprimono l’anelito umano verso l’infinito. Dopo le Confessioni, sono le pagine più luminose di sant’Agostino.

Comment ne pas perdre son temps, à défaut de ne pouvoir l'économiser ? Peut-on vivre l'instant présent sans se projeter sans cesse dans le passe ou l'avenir ?

«Die vorliegenden Predigten über den Ersten Johannesbrief dürfen den Anspruch darauf erheben, mit unter die kostbarsten Perlen augustinischen Schrifttums und augustinischer Theologie gezählt zu werden», so eine Einführung zu diesen Texten. Die Predigten, die Augustinus der Gemeinde von Hippo im Jahr 407 hielt, kreisen angesichts einer bereits vollzogenen Kirchenspaltung durch den Donatismus, der einer sündhaften Priesterschaft keinen Platz in der Kirche einräumen will, um die Einheit der Kirche, die nur in der Verbundenheit mit Christus Wirklichkeit werden kann. Die Liebe zu Gott, zum menschgewordenen Sohn Gottes, konkretisiert sich in der Bruderliebe als Kriterium echten Christseins. Das aus diesen Predigten bekannte Wort: «Liebe und tue, was du willst», muss in diesem Zusammenhang gesehen werden. «Halten wir an der Einheit der Kirche fest, an Christus, an der Liebe»: Diese Mahnung des Kirchenlehrers an seine Gemeinde tönt durch alle Jahrhunderte bis in die Gegenwart.
