This is a new guide to reading the Confessions, Augustine’s most important work, and what is widely known as the first Western Christian autobiography ever written. The Confessions consists of thirteen books, in which Augustine outlines his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. Barry David guides the reader swiftly through these complex texts, explaining the historical context, as well as the various philosophical concepts; and considers its spiritual, ecclesial and theological significance.As with other titles in the Reading Augustine series, this book presents concise introductory reading of Augustine’s work from one of the leading scholars in the field.
