(Continued from front flap)
The unfolding life builds in dramatic power to the eighth book, in which the famous scene takes place in the garden of a friend in Milan. Here the dis¬ traught Augustine lies under a fig tree, weeping, and hears the chanting of a child. Such a clue provides him with the key to unlock the secret of his life.
The Confessions are written in the form of a prayer soliloquy directed toward God; yet they contain a story narrated with such artistry that the reader never feels he is excluded. In this translation all of the essentials of the original Con¬ fessions have been retained. With the removal of some repetitions and the omission of the last three books per¬ taining to subjects apart from Augus¬ tine's personal life, the result is a compact version of one of the all-time classics of humanity.
"This lively translation accentuates the fresh and powerful thoughts of one of the world's great men—thoughts about friendship, sex, morality, God, and lots more. And what a psychologist Augus¬ tine was."—CLYDE S. KILBY, Wheaton

"Why Augustine? Why would an American journalist un¬ dertake to translate from the Latin something written 1,500 years ago by a Catholic bishop—in Africa? Especially when the journalist is engaged in non-partisan evangelistic work? The reason is that I love him. Or can't you say that any¬ more? I am saying it because he has done a beautiful thing in my life. He has shared his struggles and his search for God with me (and with millions like me) and has done it without sacrificing a first-class intellect, without trying to polish his image, and without stooping to religious cliches."
