A review by valtimke
The Confessions of Saint Augustine by Saint Augustine

4.0

I have a complicated relationship with this crazy old man. On the one hand, his ideas are fascinating and well written. On the other hand, I have a lot of issues with those same ideas. What I love about this book, though, is how it has more questions than answers. And Saint Augustine really does defy the image of "perfect saint." I suppose there isn't much more to say other than this book is timeless, though-provoking, and insane.

I have no other way to describe the mind that produced this than that word: insane.
