一本改变思想史的经典丛书，以精装的形式出版。圣奥古斯丁的父亲是异教徒，母亲是基督徒。他早年在信仰和世界观的冲突中挣扎。他在40多岁时写下的《忏悔录》，讲述了他是如何缓慢而痛苦地远离年轻时的思想和生活方式，转而成为基督教的坚定拥护者和有影响力的思想家之一。

《忏悔录》是一本非常诚实和启示精神的自传，它也涉及基督教教义的基本问题，其中包括的许多祈祷和沉思至今仍是基督教实践的一个组成部分。

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.

公元354年，拉丁教会的伟大医生圣奥古斯丁出生于北非的塔格斯特。他从小是基督徒，但很快就改信了摩尼教。他还受到了新柏拉图主义的影响。然而，在387年，他放弃了所有非正统的信仰并接受了洗礼。他现存的作品对基督教神学以及西方心理学和政治神学产生了重大影响。

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.
