The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered by many to be one of the most important religious biographies of all time. Written in the middle of the 4th century "The Confessions of Saint Augustine" tells of its author's upbringing in Algeria, his place at the Imperial court of Milan, his struggle to overcome his sexual desires, and the ultimate dedication of his life to Christ and Christian ways. "The Confessions of Saint Augustine" is not simply a recount of the author's life but a true exploration of what it is to be Christian and the struggles that one must overcome in order to find Christ and live a more pious life.

Really Poor Translation,
By Sue Too (Olympia, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Confessions of Saint Augustine (Paperback)
The quality of the translation by Edward Bouverie Pusey is so poor as to make this classic work unreadable.
The Rev. Pusey, a Victorian era English cleric, did not translate this work into Standard English, but rather into his own version of an archaic language. The result is just strange
