Book Description
Saint Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-430) was one of the outstanding figures of the declining Roman Empire. From his own account he lived a life of sin until his conversion to Christianity at the age of thirty-two. Twelve years later he gave a personal account of his search for truth in the Confessions, where his analysis of the emotional side of Christian experience in the face of sin remains unsurpassed. They are also intensely revealing of the man himself.
The cover shows a detail from a French illuminated manuscript in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, depicting St Augustine. (Snark International)

This a very readable translation of an excellent book. St. Augustine eloquently says so many things I have no words for.
