... bourgeois society, not convinced or even ignorant atheism. Autobiographical works, in the very long tradition of Confessions and Grace Abounding, are often a good read. But is something so personal truly persuasive? Plus, I suspect more people would care to read Twain's Autobiograph ...

... tapped into some poeple's worst fears, including his own. When I was learning about early church history, I tried to read Confessions but felt a true aversion to it, even though I was somewhat at my height of Christian spirituality.

... and wanted to read more in the same series. I heard a talk the other morning about St. Augustine, so I've added his Confessions to the TBR pile as a re-read. I tried The City of God a couple of years ago but couldn't finish it, and I really don't think I'm ready to try again just yet. ...

#25 philosojerk: If you're interested in Augustine, I would recommend Gary Wills' book, Saint Augustine. I think that The Confessions is a difficult enough book that reading Wills ahead of time might be useful. Also, there is an outstanding book, Constantine's Sword by James Carroll ...

I finished The Confessions of St. Augustine this morning and I started 50 Questions on the Natural Law by Charles Rice. I guess they are both pretty heavy reading for me, but I finished my fiction book Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte last night. I'm waiting till I can get to the library to ...

I have found a few online texts, I am a bit of a luddite. I like to have the text in my hand. The Confessions are a fave of mine and as with many of my favorites I like to make notes or marks. I have seen versions of the Confessions in Latin and for sale but they cost at least $40. Latin ...

I am in need of a reasonably priced Latin copy of the Confessions of St Augustine. If anyone has ideas I would appreciate it. If there is a parallel text copy that is reasonably priced that would do.

... Group, there is a similar effort called: 1001 Christian Books? I think St. Augustine's City of God or his Confessions tend to be recommended. Books by C. S. Lewis would be on most people's list. I think St. John of the Cross' prose can be weighty going, but I do like ...

I went to the blog and submitted the following. St. Augustine's Confessions, The Didache, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Dante's, The Divine Comedy. One should have biblical commentaries, but I don't know whether this 1,000 book list should be read- through books, or ...

Christian or non. I'm still trying to finish Confessions, and I just started a really interesting book called Decision Making and the Will of God. I'm also reading Bruce Wayne: Fugitive Vol. 1. I love the comic books.

It seems LT is not reading LoC (and other libraries') files right. Take e.g. Confessions by St. Augustinus. I think Tim's copy of it ( Harmondsworth, Middlesex; Penguin Books, 1961. 346 p. ; 18 cm.) is NOT in English AND Latin, but rather in English ...
