About this Edition

"The Confessions of St. Augustine" by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine is an autobiographical work written between AD 397 and 400. In thirteen books composed as prayers to God, Augustine recounts his turbulent journey from a sinful youth to Christian conversion. He reflects on his immoral past, his time following Manichaeism, and the influential figures who guided him toward faith. Considered the first Western autobiography, this intimate spiritual memoir explores themes of sin, redemption, and humanity's restless search for divine truth.
