‘Give me chastity and continence, but not yet’

The daughter of a pagan father and a Christian mother, Saint Augustine spent his early years torn between conflicting worldviews. The "Confessions," written when he was forty years old, narrate how, slowly and painfully, he came to distance himself from his youthful ideas and his dissolute lifestyle, to become one of the most influential thinkers in Christianity. A remarkably honest spiritual autobiography, the "Confessions" also address fundamental issues of Christian doctrine, while many of the prayers and reflections included remain an integral part of the practice of faith today.

Translation and Introduction: R. S. PINE-COFFIN
