In his day, Augustine of Hippo was the dominant figure of the Western Church and is now regarded as one of the greatest thinkers of Christian antiquity. His "Confessions" stands as a monumental work in Western literature. This intensely personal narrative chronicles Augustine's journey from a humble Algerian farm to the imperial court in Milan, detailing his struggles with his sexual nature, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and his eventual recovery of the faith instilled in him by his mother, Monica. Henry Chadwick, a noted scholar of early Christianity, offers the first new English translation in thirty years, presenting Augustine's conversion in clear, modern language. Readers follow Augustine's fascination with astrology and the Manichees, his skepticism toward pagan myths, and his ultimate embrace of Christian faith. The text features profound philosophical reflections on Platonism and the nature of God, alongside poignant portraits of Augustine's mother, St. Ambrose, and early Christians like Victorinus, who forsook a successful career for orthodox faith. Chadwick enhances accessibility with comprehensive notes and an introduction that contextualizes Augustine's concerns, making them resonate with contemporary readers. His translation facilitates a fresh engagement with Augustine's deeply personal meditations, ensuring the enduring religious and philosophical significance of "The Confessions" is readily

Reich illustrierter Überblick über die Geschichte des Christentums von den Anfängen bis heute.

Auf der Höhe seines Lebens, um 397/98, schreibt Augustinus die Bekenntnisse . Jede literarische Selbstdarstellung, von Petrarca über Montaigne und Rousseau bis in die Gegenwart, fußt bewußt oder unbewußt auf diesem großen Vorbild. Unzählige haben in den von Augustinus beschriebenen Verirrungen die eigenen Schwächen und Verfehlungen erkannt und sich so in diesem Buch wiedergefunden. Höhepunkt von Augustinus' Autobiographie ist die Geschichte der eigenen Bekehrung. Mit stilistischer und rhetorischer Meisterschaft beschreibt Augustinus die Versuche des Menschen, sich von Gott zu lösen und den Weg des eigenen Selbst zu gehen, und seine dabei immer wiederkehrende Erfahrung, daß er sich einer göttlichen Fügung beugen muß, daß er – wie Augustinus sagt – von Gott umschlossen ist.
