Cambridge Companions - Prominent Personalities and Their Works

Augustine’s Confessions is undoubtedly among the most renowned works of Christian literature ever. In fact, it’s a classic of world literature that keeps generating editions, translations, commentaries, and monographs. In the Confessions, readers have enjoyed Augustine’s rhetoric and his beautiful Latin. Some have pondered about the phenomenon called “autobiography,” others have qualified such genre designation, and still others have wondered about the very possibility of it. Some have admired the Confessions as a pearl of Western literary culture. Wittgenstein called it “the most serious book ever written.” Many readers have also studied the Confessions for its brilliant theological and/or philosophical insight. On the other hand, there are also those who have been disturbed by Augustine’s alleged narcissism and infantile megalomania, or those who have been deeply puzzled by Augustine’s suspiciously selective memory and, consequently, have doubted the author’s credibility, as well as the truthfulness and historicity of his (meta)narrative.

Perhaps it should not be hastily presupposed that every potential reader of the Cambridge Companion to Augustine’s Confessions has, in fact, read the classic itself; that is, Augustine’s Confessions. Mark Twain reported someone’s (Professor Winchester’s) definition of a classic as “something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.” More seriously, Gadamer has explicated that to consider a text a classic, one thinks of something permanent and always relevant. The “classical” speaks in such a way that it is not merely a statement about what happened in the past, but it also addresses the present. In fact, it has the ability to speak directly to the situation of a reader in any time.
