Garry Wills is an exceptionally gifted translator and one of our finest writers on religion. His bestselling Penguin Lives biography, "Saint Augustine," received widespread and glowing reviews, many of which noted his masterful translations of the famed fourth- century bishop's works. Now, reading with fresh, keen eyes, Wills applies his unparalleled talents and his superb gifts of analysis and insight to this ambitious and complete translation of Saint Augustine's "Confessions." Removed by time and place but not by spiritual relevance, "Confessions" is one of the most resonant texts in the Western canon, and continues to influence contemporary religion, languages, and thought.
