Augustine by Robin Lane Fox
Conversions and Confessions
A vivid portrait of a North African prodigy who becomes a bishop and formative Christian thinker, tracing his path from youthful ambition and flirtations with fashionable sects and philosophies, through conversion in Milan, to decades of pastoral leadership, prolific writing, and fierce doctrinal battles. Set against the social, political, and religious turmoil of the late Roman Empire, it probes his relationships and inner conflicts, tests his self-crafted narrative against letters and sermons, and follows him into his hard-pressed final years amid invasion and siege.
