This volume presents the Latin text of one of the great classics of Christian literature, accompanied by a commentary.
Confessions is concerned with one human life as an example of what it is to be human and in search of God. In books
I-IV, Augustine reflects on his infancy and childhood, adolescent rebellion and student days, and his early teaching
career. The commentary, which can be used by those new to Augustine and his world, concentrates on his brilliant
Latin and on his theology and philosophy.
