Augustine’s Confessions
consists in a blend of honest personal narrative, serious intellectual inquiry,
and heartfelt devotional prayer. From the first to the last line of this
classic work, he addresses himself to God. The entire book, in which Augustine tells
the story of his conversion to Christ and engages in profound and extensive
theological and philosophical reflection, takes the form of a prayer to his
Lord. Augustine believed the study of academic disciplines can be regularly, deliberately,
and explicitly combined with the practice of the spiritual discipline of
prayer. As a result, both his mind and his heart are transformed.
