  abstract: This is a new guide to reading the Confessions, Augustine's most important work. It is widely known as the first Western Christian autobiography ever written, the great masterpiece of Western literature. The Confessions consists of thirteen books, in which Augustine outlines his sinful youth and his conversion of Christianity. Barry David guides the reader swiftly through this convoluted text, explaining the historical context, as well as the various philosophical concepts and considers its spiritual, ecclesial and theological significance. As with other titles in the Reading Augustine series, this book presents a concise introductory reading of Augustine's work from one of the leading scholars in the field.
  table of contents: Introduction: Augustine's purpose: confessio -- Confessions 1-4, departing from and returning toward confessio -- Confessions 5-7, discovering confessio is reasonable -- Confessions 8-10, living confessio -- Confessions 11-13, confessio's ultimate ground is the Godhead -- Conclusion: Confessions is about confessio: and confessio imitates divine incarnation.
