Confessions

Augustine’s Confessions is both a spiritual autobiography and a philosophical meditation on memory, desire, and divine grace. Written as a prayer to God, it recounts his restless search for truth and the mercy that led him to faith. Moving from the struggles of youth to the illumination of conversion, Augustine reveals the soul’s inward journey toward God as the true homeland of the heart. Blending poetry, theology, and self-examination, the Confessions remains one of the most profound works of Christian and world literature.
