Its reflections speak not only to believers, but to anyone wrestling with questions of identity, purpose, and the longing for lasting truth.This edition presents the traditional English text of this public-domain classic, carefully prepared for today's readers while preserving the original meaning, theological depth, and literary dignity of Augustine's masterpiece.A foundational work of Christian literature, Confessions remains as relevant today as when it was first written-an enduring invitation to reflection, humility, and the pursuit of truth.
