Description: "An excellent translation."--John Bowlin,University of Tulsa "A masterly performance by the dean of English-speaking Patristic scholars. Better English than the Penguin and unlike Sheed this has Books X-XIII. The notes hint at hidden depths."--Oliver Nicholson,University of Minnesota "Chadwick's translation is superb."--Thomas Renna,Saginaw Valley State University "A beautifully translated, edited, and printed paperback edition."--Francis W. Nichols,St. Louis University "I am impressed with this translation. It has the poetry and emotive power of the R.S. Pine-Coffin translation for Penguin Books; and it seems much more lucid. The notes are very helpful for my purposes, showing how Augustine wove together Neo-Platonism and Christianity."--David E. Timmer,CentralCollege "An extremely readable and accessible translation, superior to those of Edward Pusey and F.J. Sheed that we've used in the past."--Helen Moritz,Santa Clara University "A very competent piece of work....The fact remains that this new translation is the most readable version in modern English."--Manuscripta "This handsomely bound and printed volume is finely translated and annotated, thus making theConfessionsas exciting to read in English as they deserve to be. The informative introduction provides excellent information on Augustine's life and writings."--Gary M. Godfrey,University of Utah "Fine translation."--P.M. Hess,University of Santa Clara
