Books For A Budding Dominican

[Thomist-in-Training]

The Oxford University Press one is pretty good. It cites all the Scripture quotes he uses, which occasionally interrupts the flow but gives you an idea of how much Scripture he knew, and the translation is good, I think, though it's the only one I've read. The translator's name is Henry Chadwick.

If you study Latin at all, you should look up the parts you like the best. Augustine's Latin is not hard to read, and really beautiful.

Excellent suggestion. I had been holding out for the OUP but I could never find it. Now, after I've bought another (obviously inferior) copy, I see it everywhere.
