A story of spiritual awakening, The Confessions of St. Augustine is a fascinating look at the life of an eminent Christian thinker. Widely seen as one of the first Western autobiographies ever written, it chronicles the life and religious struggles of Augustine of Hippo, from his days as a self-confessed sinner to his acceptance of Christianity as an older adult. Along the way he unveils his theological questioning of human existence and the essence and nature of God while providing influential philosophical arguments on creation and time. Augustine's sincere and inquisitive attitude will inspire any listener, regardless of faith. Translated by R. S. Pine-Coffin.

The first ten books cover Augustine’s life, from childhood to conversion. The next two offer a close exegesis of the first few verses of Genesis, where Augustine the philosopher uses philosophy as the “handmaid to theology”—the only way it has ever been able to hold my interest. The final book offers an interpretation of the same verses of Genesis through what would become a favorite lens for the Medieval mind, allegory. To my mind, this last book approaches the visionary.
Of course, I didn’t grasp everything I should have--far from it. But one of the virtues of an audiobook is that, as with the tangle of nautical details in an Aubrey/Maturin novel, here you can let the finer points flow over you and perceive the greater, general idea. In this, Mark Meadows is no end of help; he reads with a conviction and subdued energy that envelops you. The translation, by the unfortunately named R.S. Pine-Coffin, is superb.
