A Modern, Easy-to-Read Translation of St. Augustine’s Confessions
Augustine’s Confessions has shaped Christian thought, literature, and spiritual reflection for over sixteen hundred years. But for many readers, the beauty of his story has been locked behind dense language and unfamiliar phrasing. This modern translation changes that. With clear, accessible language and helpful notes throughout, this edition brings Augustine’s words to life, while staying true to the original.
“As a theologian, I can say that never before has Augustine been so accessible and relatable in an English translation.”
