Decent Translation

Not perfect, but good enough for a review of this masterpiece. If you are looking for the overall gist of what Saint Anthony had to say, I would recommend this to be listened to or read.

Excellent

I have not read other translations, but this modern translation is easy to listen to and understand the first time through.

Much easier read and listen

This is by far the easiest to understand early church father’s writing I have read. It’s a must read for every Christian but this translation makes it very doable even for middle and high school students
