商品簡介
Confessions is the autobiography of Augustine, and presents a moving and profound record of a human soul and its struggles. This is the most widely read of all his works. It not only tells the story of Augustine's struggle with faith, but also his love for the Master. It speaks to the heart of humanity about weakness, frailty, depravity, and the need for a holy God. Confessions is an exercise in self-knowledge and true humility in the atmosphere of grace and reconciliation.
作者簡介
Augustine of Hippo (345-430) was born in North Africa to a devoutly Christian mother and pagan father. He was given Christian instruction but waited until later in life to be baptized. Augustine's sexual appetite drove him to seek pleasure where he could find it, but also plagued his conscience. His hunger for religious things led him through many of the belief systems of the day. Augustine finally turned to God in 386 when he heard a child say, "Take, read" a copy of Paul's letter to the Romans. Upon his conversion to Christianity, Augustine became a prodigious writer, with his writings standing second only to the apostle Paul in their impact on the Church. Dr. Tom Gill, editor, has served as a pastor, evangelist. He is now director of TLR Ministries, and professor of Theology at Florida Christian University.
