Here is St. Augustine's honest self-analysis of his weaknesses and conflicts, a spiritual odyssey of his struggle towards faith... One of the most invluential books in all Christian literature.
It should be borne in mind that the Confessions was not intended to be an intellectual exercise, removed from the everyday realities of life. In it, Augustine seeks to lay bare his heart, his soul--before God and before his fellowmen. It is an honest book and a book that speaks to the heart first of all. |
