Confessions: Faith Classics
Autor Saint Augustine of Hippoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2013
You've heard his name--now read his classic spiritual autobiography. Here is St. Augustine's "Confessions, " an important and powerful book abridged and updated for today's reader. Written some sixteen hundred years ago, this Christian classic still speaks to readers, addressing concerns that trouble the human heart today just as they did in the fourth and fifth centuries. "Confessions" gives an account of God's grace in Augustine's life--as well as his personal regret over the wickedness of his pre-Christian days. It's a powerful introduction to a giant of the faith, and an encouraging story of God's power to change people.

Recenzii
"[Wills] renders Augustine's famous and influential text in direct language with all the spirited wordplay and poetic strength intact."
-Los Angeles Times
"[Wills's] translations . . . are meant to bring Augustine straight into our own minds; and they succeed. Well-known passages, over which my eyes have often gazed, spring to life again from Wills's pages."
-Peter Brown, The New York Review of Books
"Augustine flourishes in Wills's hand."
-James Wood
"A masterful synthesis of classical philosophy and scriptural erudition."
