McIntosh narrows his focus to St. Augustine’s quotations from the Book of Genesis, and endeavors to find out if Augustine referred to a single or multiple translations of the Latin Scriptures when writing his verses. Comparing style, form, syntax, as well as the omission/addition of words, McIntosh’s study of Genesis through the writing of St. Augustine is captivating.
