The Confessions of St. Augustine: Modern English Version (Paraclete Living Library)

The Confessions of St. Augustine, a passionate, deeply honest autobiographical account of Augustine's journey toward faith, has been a source of spiritual guidance and intellectual nourishment for millions of people throught the centuries. While Augustine is regarded as one of Christianity's greatest theologians, the enduring and universal appeal of the Confessions is undoubtedly in Augustine's humanity--in his fervent examinations of his own struggles, conflicts, and temptations, and in his intensely personal quest for God. This modern edition of the Confessions will offer a profound source of spiritual enlightenment to today's reader.
