For almost sixteen centuries TheConfessions of Saint Augustine has stood unchallenged among auto-biographies as the most moving and profound outpouring of man'ssoul to God. To Catholic readers it goes to the heart of their faith and to more and more Protestants it has become the book by which sectarian differences can be resolved. By both it is acknowledged a literary masterpiece. Included in every list of great books for students and general readers, The Confessions, complete and unabridged in the E. B. Pusey translation and with a stirring Introduction by Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen, now takes a proud and prominent place in the Modern Library series.
