About the book
The Confessions is a long prayer spoken to God, in which Augustine of Hippo looks back over his own life. He wrote it in Latin between about 397 and 400, soon after becoming bishop of Hippo, a port town in North Africa. He tells his story to praise God and to admit his faults openly. This translation is by E. B. Pusey, an English churchman and Oxford scholar of the 1800s.
