ISBN: 9780141396897 PUBLISHER: Penguin Classics FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 576 PUBLICATION DATE: 5.02.2015 DIMENSIONS: 17.4 x 11.3 x 3.8 centimetres 1.1 pounds

DESCRIPTION: One of a major new Classics series - books that have changed the history of thought, in sumptuous, clothbound hardbacks. The son of a pagan father and a Christian mother, Saint Augustine spent his early years torn between conflicting faiths and world views. His Confessions, written when he was in his forties, recount how, slowly and painfully, he came to turn away from his youthful ideas and licentious lifestyle, to become instead a staunch advocate of Christianity and one of its most influential thinkers. A remarkably honest and revealing spiritual autobiography, the Confessions also address fundamental issues of Christian doctrine, and many of the prayers and meditations it includes are still an integral part of the practice of Christianity today.
