Confessions of St. Augustine of Hippo

"St. Augustine of Hippo's Confessions is an authobiographical work that focuses on the author's converstion to Christianity. For Augustine, 'confessions' means not only confessing one's sins of omission and commission but also proclaiming one's faith. It is a foundational work in Roman Catholic belief and earned its author recognition as a Doctor of the Church and an Ecumenical Father" -- Book jacket.
