Description
A spiritual autobiography that explores Augustine's early life, family, personal and intellectual associations, and his journey toward conversion to Christianity. Composed around 397, Confessions is a deeply personal story that also offers philosophical insights.
Written as a prayer addressed to God, yet always conscious of its readers, this work presents a gripping narrative that has had a lasting impact on Western philosophy and theology. This bilingual edition replaces the earlier Loeb translation by William Watts.
Augustine's Confessions is a profound exploration of crisis, conversion, and the human search for meaning.
