The Confessions of St. Augustine
Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. <p><i>The Confessions</i> is at once the autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone. Among the most important classics in Western literature, it continues to engage modern readers through Augustine's timeless illustrations and beautiful prose.</p> <p> Augustine's <i>Confessions</i> is a work to relish the first time through and then profoundly enjoy over a lifetime of revisiting.</p>
