Os salmos têm sido e continuam sendo fonte riquíssima de inspiração de um dos legados bíblicos mais fecundos para a espiritualidade da civilização do Ocidente. Com o presente Comentário aos Salmos, Agostinho solidifica a tradição patrística, juntamente com Orígenes, Atanásio, Basílio, Ambrósio, Eusébio de Cesaréia, Jerônio... que se dedicaram ao estudo dos salmos: nenhum outro, porém, alcançou o êxito do comentário de Agostinho.
Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
