| Description: |
Saint Augustine's Confessions is a foundational text in both Christian theology and Western intellectual history. Written in the late 4th century, it is at once a theological treatise, a work of philosophical introspection, and the first great Western autobiography. Augustine traces the arc of his life, from his early years in Roman North Africa and immersion in classical learning, through his moral and spiritual struggles, to his eventual conversion to Christianity and reflections on the nature of memory, time, and the self.
R.S. Pine-Coffin's translation includes a scholarly introduction and detailed notes. He situates Confessions within its historical, philosophical, and religious contexts, making it an ideal resource for students and serious readers alike. |
