We have updated vocabulary, standardized punctuation and formatting, shortened sentences (in rare cases, moved sentences within a selection), and replaced Bible quotes with the NIV text (unless otherwise noted). Our goal has been to preserve the original authors’ intention and give proper credit to the English translators of each of these works. Prayer of St. Augustine – Adapted from Augustine, “Prayer of Saint Augustin,” (Psalm 150) [ccel.org]. Psalm 1 – Adapted from Athanasius, “The Ninth Letter, A.D. 339: The Wicked Dig a Pit for

Themselves,” in The Resurrection Letters , paraphrased by Jack N. Sparks (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1979), 153–54.
