Description
Confessions is a deeply personal and profound spiritual autobiography that recounts Saint Augustine's journey from a life torn between conflicting faiths to an ardent devotion to Christianity.
Written in his forties, this remarkable work offers a candid exploration of the author's struggles with his youthful ideas and licentious lifestyle, as he slowly came to turn away from his past and embrace the teachings of Christianity.
This edition includes an introduction by R. S. Pine-Coffin, which provides insight into the author's intentions and issues surrounding translation, as well as a list of dates of events recorded in the Confessions.
