His book Confessions is not an easy read for modern readers, but for those who seek his wisdom it is there. While my review pales in comparison to the scholarly essays written in these reviews, I will allow the Holy Spirit to speak through this newborn in the faith. While I cannot comment on the accuracy or style of this translation like others, I can personally reflect. I had a personal connection to Augustine as I have struggled with some of the same sins as he did.

Reading how he dealt with it was very helpful. Also when you take into account when this was written it is amazing the similarities of societies then and now, one would think it was a contemporary piece. The first half is an easy read, the later half is difficult and requires slow reading and reflection to understand.

Thagaste, in modern day Algiers was a Christian city very different from modern Muslim Algeria.

This is a must read as it is one of the earliest, non scripture, christian writings. I do not mind and find the language fascinating and historical. I do have to read some passages over again to get the meaning and have even had to look up a few words to figure out what he was trying to say. If you don't want to take the time to do this, I understand from other reviews that there are translations into current language.

I may read it again some day with the translation but for now, am happy with the original language.
