About this product

Product Information

Heartfelt, incisive, and timeless, The Confessions of Saint Augustine has captivated readers for more than fifteen hundred years. Retelling the story of his long struggle with faith and ultimate conversion -- the first such spiritual memoir ever recorded -- Saint Augustine traces a story of sin, regret, and redemption that is both deeply personal and, at the same time, universal. Starting with his early life, education, and youthful indiscretions, and following his ascent to influence as a teacher of rhetoric in Hippo, Rome, and Milan, Augustine is brutally honest about his proud and amibitious youth. In time, his early loves grow cold and the luster of wordly success fades, leaving him filled with a sense of inner absence, until a movement toward Christian faith takes hold, eventually leading to conversion and the flourishing of a new life. Philosophically and theologically brilliant, sincere in its feeling, and both grounded in history and strikingly contemporary in its resonance, The Confessions of Saint Augustine is a timeless classic that will persist as long as humanity continues to long for meaning in life and peace of soul.

"In plain words--if you can accept them as plain--Christianity is the life and death and resurrection of Christ going on day after day in the souls of individual men and in the heart of society. It is this Christ-life, this incorporation into the Body of Christ, this union with His death and resurrection as a matter of conscious experience, that  St. Augustine wrote of in his Confessions." --Thomas Merton From the Hardcover edition., "In plain words--if you can accept them as plain--Christianity is the life and death and resurrection of Christ going on day after day in the souls of individual men and in the heart of society.

    A Deep Piece Of Introspection

    I have meant to read St. Augustine for years. Finally got to it! I think the book is pretty incredible (I'm only up to his account of his late teens). And it keeps morphing from his tales of his life, to his prayers with God. Be prepared, though. The language is fairly archaic and it is definitely a piece of work to take this book on. Well worth reading, though. For myself, I have to take it in small-ish doses.

    Too many markers disappointed me !

    I am looking forward to receiving a clean book. However there were a lot of markers and highlights here and there. I was disappointed.

    Very Good

    Very interesting read. A little daunting and tough to get into at first because of the language. Great if you stick with it. I was very interested in getting to know St. Augustine and this book does that.
