“The story of his life, up until his conversion, is written in the autobiographical Confessions, the most intimate and well known glimpse into an individual’s soul ever written, as well as a fascinating philosophical, theological, mystical, poetic and literary work.”
“The ‘Confessions’ of St Augustine have possibly, next to the New Testament, exercised a greater influence on the religion of all Europe than any other book.” The article provided here draws on his Confessions. (The two last quotes are taken from several articles from EWTN)
