Susan Jacoby The Confessions is a book that everybody should read. It is seminal, if you can excuse the expression. (Source)
Carlos Eire St Augustine of Hippo was one of the first thinkers to struggle with the concepts of time, memory and eternity. (Source)
Richard Harries He was a wonderful, wonderful writer and a deeply passionate man. He was very sensual. (Source)
Simon Yarrow What he’s making is an incredibly modern, intimate, psychological diagnosis of the human condition. (Source)
A N Wilson A lot of people think becoming a Christian is a decision you make. St Augustine doesn’t really think that. (Source)
Paula Fredriksen For the reader it’s somewhat like crashing a session of classic psychoanalytic therapy: Augustine speaks, God just listens, and we overhear. (Source)
