Critics Review

There are many good translations of the Confessions, but this is the first one to be carefully sensitive to the philosophical nuances of Augustine’s text. The careful yet readable translation is accompanied by an informative and thoughtful Introduction, ample notes, and appendices.”
—Paul Vincent Spade, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Indiana University, Bloomington
