Chadwick renders the details of Augustine's conversion in clear, modern English. We witness the future saint's fascination with astrology and with the Manichees, and then follow him through scepticism and disillusion with pagan myths until he finally reaches Christian faith. There are brilliant philosophical musings about Platonism and the nature of God, and touching portraits of Augustine's beloved mother, of St. Ambrose of Milan, and of other early Christians like Victorinus, who gave up a distinguished career as a rhetorician to adopt the orthodox faith. Augustine's concerns are often strikingly contemporary, yet his work contains many references and allusions that are easily understood only with background information about the ancient social and intellectual setting. To make The Confessions accessible to contemporary readers, Chadwick provides the most complete and informative notes of any recent translation, and includes an introduction to establish the context.
The religious and philosophical value of The Confessions is unquestionable--now modern readers will have easier access to St. Augustine's deeply personal meditations. Chadwick's lucid translation and helpful introduction clear the way for a new experience of this classic.]]> 1121 3.75 4506 425 192810 3.78 3365 254 1028527 3.65 17 3 398 27924 0915144077 9780915144075 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167895808m/27924.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167895808s/27924.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27924.The_Essential_Augustine 3.45 11 Foreword to the 2nd Edition
