According to Dr. Esolen, “The Confessions is one continued and coherent prayer, a profound profession of faith, and a plea for more, ever more wisdom, ever more love. It is artistic in its whole conception, in its parts and their arrangement down to the merest sentence. It is closer to the Gothic cathedrals that would grace Europe eight hundred years later than to anything that you or I might write about ourselves and our lives.”

Like St. Augustine himself, Dr. Esolen is intimately familiar with Sacred Scripture and the classical tradition, and he helps the reader enter into St. Augustine’s world through his meticulous translation and helpful explanatory notes. This book is worth it for the footnotes alone—they make all the difference in understanding many of St. Augustine’s images, references, and allusions!
