This 2nd Edition includes a new annotated bibliography by William Harmless, S.J.The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered the all time number one Christian classic. Augustine undertook his greatest piece of writing with the conviction that God wanted him to make this confession. The Confessions are, in fact, an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. Augustine s experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions. This new translation by Maria Boulding masterfully captures his experience.Augustine was probably fortythree when he began this endeavor. He had been a baptized Catholic for ten years, a priest for six, and a bishop for only two. His prebaptismal life raised questions in the community. Was his conversion genuine? The first hearers were captivated, as many millions have been over the following sixteen centuries.
