Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount (originallyDe sermone Domini in monte) is a book written by theChristian saintAugustine of Hippo in 393.[1][2]
The book is a commentary onJesus's speech known as theSermon on the Mount, as presented in theGospel 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 theBeatitudes into practice?" The second volume studies Chapters 6 and 7, and offers a condensed theology of prayer.[4]
