書籍簡介

一本改變思想史的經典叢書，以精裝的形式出版。聖奧古斯丁的父親是異教徒，母親是基督徒。他早年在信仰和世界觀的衝突中掙扎。他在40多歲時寫下的《懺悔錄》，講述了他是如何緩慢而痛苦地遠離年輕時的思想和生活方式，轉而成為基督教的堅定擁護者和有影響力的思想家之一。

《懺悔錄》是一本非常誠實和啟示精神的自傳，它也涉及基督教教義的基本問題，其中包括的許多祈禱和沉思至今仍是基督教實踐的一個組成部分。

One of a major new Classics series - books that have changed the history of thought, in sumptuous, clothbound hardbacks. The son of a pagan father and a Christian mother, Saint Augustine spent his early years torn between conflicting faiths and world views. His Confessions, written when he was in his forties, recount how, slowly and painfully, he came to turn away from his youthful ideas and licentious lifestyle, to become instead a staunch advocate of Christianity and one of its most influential thinkers.

A remarkably honest and revealing spiritual autobiography, the Confessions also address fundamental issues of Christian doctrine, and many of the prayers and meditations it includes are still an integral part of the practice of Christianity today.

作者簡介

公元354年，拉丁教會的偉大醫生聖奧古斯丁出生於北非的塔格斯特。他從小是基督徒，但很快就改信了摩尼教。他還受到了新柏拉圖主義的影響。然而，在387年，他放棄了所有非正統的信仰並接受了洗禮。他現存的作品對基督教神學以及西方心理學和政治神學產生了重大影響。

St Augustine of Hippo, the great Doctor of the Latin Church, was born at Thagaste in North Africa, in A.D. 354. He was brought up as a Christian but he was soon converted to the Manichean religion. He also came under the influence of Neoplatonism. However, in 387 he renounced all his unorthodox beliefs and was baptised. His surviving works had a great influence on Christian theology and the psychology and political theology of the West.
