Description: The Confessions of Saint Augustine is an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer that Augustine wrote as an autobiography sometime after his conversion. In it, he confesses his sins and proclaims God's goodness. His first hearers were captivated by his powerful conversion story, so also many millions have been over the following sixteen centuries. His experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions.

This acclaimed translation by Sister Maria Boulding, O.S.B., masterfully captures his experience, and is written in an elegant and flowing style. Her contemporary translation of the ancient Confessions makes the classic work more accessible to modern readers. Her translation combines the linguistic accuracy demanded by 4th-century Latin with the poetic power aimed at by Augustine, not as discernable in previous translations.
