A major interpretation of how one of the great figures of Christian history came to write the greatest of all autobiographies
'Give me chastity, but not yet', young Augustine famously prayed to God. The Confessions, his masterpiece, is a classic study of anguish, hesitation and what he believes to be God's intervention. It has inspired philosophers, Christian thinkers and monastic followers, but still leaves readers wondering why Augustine chose to compose a work like none before it. Robin Lane Fox follows him on a brilliantly-described journey through his various conversions and their sequels. He combines the latest scholarship with recently-found letters and sermons by Augustine himself to give a portrait of his subject which is subtly different from previous biographies.
Ideal for readers interested in biographies & true stories.
