Like the first Hackett edition of the Augustine's Confessions, the second edition features F. J. Sheed's remarkable
translation of this classic spiritual autobiography with an Introduction by noted historian of late antiquity Peter
Brown. New to this edition are a wealth of notes on literary, philosophical, biblical, historical, and liturgical
topics by Michael P. Foley, an Editor's Preface, a map, a timeline, paragraph numbers in the text, a glossary,
and a thorough index. The text itself has been completely reset, with textual and explanatory notes placed at the
foot of the page for easy reference.
