The work was penned around AD 397 when Augustine was in his forties and is an honest narrative of his sinful youth and ultimate conversion to Christianity. It seems Augustine’s abilities as a young man were never in any doubt – a brilliant mind combined with a natural talent in rhetoric – but one little interested in Catholic Christian scripture. He describes his wilfulness as a boy growing up in the Roman province of Numidia, his later attachment to sexual pleasure and the vanity of academic acclaim. His dogged pursuit of truth led him from Manichæism to Neoplatonism and, eventually, after a slow and painful struggle, to his conversion and baptism at the age of thirty-two.
From this point in the autobiography Augustine focuses on a number of familiar Christian concepts, among them, Creation, the Trinity, the Origin of Evil and the Cause of Sin. His incisive analyses are a treat for any reader drawn to the Christian mysteries.

Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works. He authored more than one hundred separate titles, including apologetic works against the heresies of the Arians, Donatists, Manichaeans, and Pelagians; texts on Christian doctrine; critical examinations of the bible; and many sermons and letters. Augustine is best known for his Confessions, a personal account of his earlier life, and De civitate Dei (The City of God), which he wrote to restore the confidence of his fellow Christians after the sack of Rome.
