Saint Augustine is one of history's most prolific geniuses. With great eloquence and passion, his Confessions - a masterpiece of Western literature - explores enduring questions that continue to stir millions. Perhaps the most moving record of a soul's journey to grace, Confessions appears midway in Saint Augustine's prodigious body of theological writings and remains his most influential work.©1991 Henry Chadwick (P)2007 Recorded Books, LLC Biographies & Memoirs Spirituality History Theology Religious Christianity Philosophy

I highly recommend this audio book. It is full of food for thought. I mostly listen to Confessions when I lay down to sleep. Sometimes it takes me quite a while to fall asleep, but listening to this makes it enjoyable.

This is worth it.

This is a beautiful translation, and is wonderfully read by the narrarator. I can't think of St. Augustine without thinking of this guys voice. He reads in a meditative way if that makes any sense, without going too fast or too slow. The sound quality is excellent!

Excellent!

This translation and reading of Augustine is brilliant. Where this book is weak in its translation it makes up for in the narration of Richard Ferrone. Ferrone does a great job of reading this book with great authority and makes the heavy words of Augustine enjoyable.

I enjoyed the book very much and found this weighty material more easily understood listening to modern English.

The only complaint I have is the chapters/books are jumbled together within the tracks. For example the second track, titled chapter two, begins with the end of book two, book three starts at 19 minutes, and at one hour book four is introduced and carries over into the third track, titled chapter three. The writing is so dense one wants to stop and digest and review what’s being said. Therefore, it would be better if there were tracks for each chapter in all twelve books.

Excellent material, disappointed by a technology issue
