Description

Book Synopsis
Confessions is a spiritual autobiography of Augustine's early life, family, associations, and explorations of alternative religious and theological viewpoints as he moved toward his conversion. Cast as a prayer addressed to God, it offers a gripping personal story and a philosophical exploration destined to have broad and lasting impact.

Trade Review
Hammond’s translation, while always elegant and lucid, stays close enough to the Latin to give us invaluable assistance… An accessible and scholarly introduction provides a way into many aspects of Augustine’s thought which will reward both those who are new to Augustine and more experienced students. -- Edward Dowler * Church Times *
