Confessions by Saint Augustine (Paperback)

Written around 400 AD, the Confessions of Augustine of Hippo is often called the first autobiography in the Western tradition. Addressed as a long prayer to God, it traces Augustine's restless youth in North Africa, his ambitions as a teacher of rhetoric in Rome and Milan, his search through philosophy, and the turning point of his conversion.

The later books move into deep reflections on memory, time and creation that still influence philosophers today. This Oxford World's Classics paperback offers a readable modern translation with helpful notes, making it an excellent edition for students, readers of theology and anyone exploring the great books.
