Augustine’s masterpiece, the ‘Confessions’, 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 exactly he chose to compose a work which was like none before it. This study follows him on a brilliantly described journey through his various conversions and their sequels. It combines the latest scholarship with recently found letters and sermons by Augustine himself to give a portrait of the man and his times which is subtly different from older biographies.
