Henry Chadwick wrote that Confessions will "always rank among the great masterpieces of western literature". It is widely seen as the first Western Christian autobiography ever written ( Ovid had invented the genre at the start of the first century AD with his Tristia) and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the Middle Ages. ![]() Ĭonfessions is generally considered one of Augustine's most important texts. Its original title was Confessions in Thirteen Books, and it was composed to be read out loud with each book being a complete unit. Modern English translations of it are sometimes published under the title The Confessions of Saint Augustine in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles. The work outlines Saint Augustine's sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. ![]() Confessions ( Latin: Confessiones) is an autobiographical work by Saint Augustine, consisting of 13 books written in Latin between AD 397 and 400. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for signing up!
