At the autobiographical heart of Augustine’s Confessions is the raw and shockingly contemporary struggle of a young man to find rest, beginning with his early childhood, spanning through licentious youth, and well beyond. It is a ‘confession’ in the most visceral sense, allowing the reader access to Augustine’s deepest, darkest admissions – interwoven with his philosophical and theological speculations throughout. Here we witness a penitent man cut himself open and bleed on the page; every nook and cranny of his inner self is exposed, washed, and redeemed.
