Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint Augustin, Melanchthon, Neander: Three Biographies The chief, almost the only source of the life of St. Augustin till the time of his conversion is his autobiography; his faithful friend, Possidius, added a few notices; his public labors till his death are recorded in his numerous writings; his influence is written on the pages of mediæval and modern church history. Among religious autobiographies the Confessions of Augustin still hold the first rank. In them this remarkable man, endowed with a lofty genius and a burning heart, lays open his inner life before God and the world, and at the same time the life of God in his own soul, which struggled for the mastery, and at last obtained it. A more honest book was never written. He conceals nothing, he palliates nothing. Like a faithful witness against himself, standing at the bar of the omniscient Judge, he tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Like King David, in the fifty-first Psalm, he openly confesses his transgressions with unfeigned sorrow and grief, yet in the joyous consciousness of forgiveness. To his sense of sin corresponds his sense of grace: they are the controlling ideas of his spiritual life and of his system of theology. The deeper the descent into the hell of self-knowledge, the higher the ascent to the knowledge of God. Augustin might have kept the secret of his youthful aberrations; posterity knows them only from his pen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
