Beschreibung
Soon after his conversion Augustine prayed "O God, let me know myself; let me know you." He was convinced that the eventual discovery of God began with a discovery of one's self. Commenting on some of Augustine's writings, here Father Burt reflects on what Augustine said about the nature of the "self," obstacles standing in the way of discovery, and some of the facts one can learn from experience and faith about oneself.
