The Confessions of St. Augustine

By: St. Augustine, R.S. Pine-Coffin - translator

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

A story of spiritual awakening, The Confessions of St. Augustine is a fascinating look at the life of an eminent Christian thinker. Widely seen as one of the first Western autobiographies ever written, it chronicles the life and religious struggles of Augustine of Hippo, from his days as a self-confessed sinner to his acceptance of Christianity as an older adult. Along the way he unveils his theological questioning of human existence and the essence and nature of God while providing influential philosophical arguments on creation and time. Augustine's sincere and inquisitive attitude will inspire any listener, regardless of faith. Translated by R. S. Pine-Coffin.

Thought provoking self reflection

This autobiography takes the reader through self discovery of the essence of the journey of life. It provides a view into the thought process of Augustine of Hippo as he finds a deeper meaning of life.

amazingly relevant

Absolutely fascinating that a book written well over fifteen hundred years ago is still relevant and in many ways profound even in light of modern religious thinking as well as scientific gains. i really enjoyed this, although I will admit it took me quite a while to get all the way through it as it is very dense

Great confessions

a great personal look at one's humanity and struggles in relation to one's Christian beliefs and life in general

Wonderfully clear performance

The Confessions is a classic and this presentation made it much more understandable than the presentations I've read and heard in the past.
