Paper Summary:
In "Saint Augustine", Garry Wills provides a fascinating biography of this Saint. He shows that Augustine's "confessions" do not necessarily have to be seen as "confessions" per se, but more as a kind of "testimony." Indeed, Wills argues that the reality that is confessed does not have to be a moral truth. In other words, Augustine's purpose was not so much to "confess" his misdeeds, but, according to Wills, to testify about what his heart held true.More papers on "Saint Augustine":
