This is not one of them. This book is about how he became a Christian – the problems he faced; the doubts he struggled with. It is about how he made sense of his belief in God, and shared it with other people. It is about how he learned to read the Bible, and to pray. And it is about the word which is at the heart of his Christian life – love. It concludes with moments of prayer from Augustine’s life, in which he glimpses visions of God, encouraging the reader to take their own next steps in discipleship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCally Hammond studied ancient history and literature before becoming ordained in 1998.

He left a huge collection of writings, on theology, biblical commentary, society, and politics, including hundreds of sermons. Among them was a book that has become known as the \u003cem\u003eConfessions.\u003c\/em\u003e Most of it is autobiographical, and it can be described as the first Christian autobiography. In it, he reveals his inner thoughts, struggles, and temptations as he slowly comes to faith, and then as he continues to think, pray and teach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCally Hammond has recently published a major two-volume edition and translation of the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, which addresses historical, theological and critical issues. Here she returns to the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, but with a very different approach. She wants us to understand Augustine’s faith journey and to discover that the things that concerned him are the same as those which concern us. So the faith that Augustine discovers and builds can shape and support us in our journey as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are nine sections, each discussing a theme of faith, such as how we come to faith, how we should read the Bible, how we grow in faith after baptism, why there are conflicts and divisions within the Church, and how we can best worship in a community and pray privately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are frequent extracts from the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, in Hammond’s own lively and engaging translation; she then shows the thinking behind them and grounds them in a contemporary setting by placing her own stories and experiences alongside. She firmly avoids all academic and critical comment, not even providing references to the extracts that she chooses. Each section finishes with a Bible passage, some questions for discussion and a prayer.

He left a huge collection of writings, on theology, biblical commentary, society, and politics, including hundreds of sermons. Among them was a book that has become known as the \u003cem\u003eConfessions.\u003c\/em\u003e Most of it is autobiographical, and it can be described as the first Christian autobiography. In it, he reveals his inner thoughts, struggles, and temptations as he slowly comes to faith, and then as he continues to think, pray and teach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCally Hammond has recently published a major two-volume edition and translation of the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, which addresses historical, theological and critical issues. Here she returns to the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, but with a very different approach. She wants us to understand Augustine’s faith journey and to discover that the things that concerned him are the same as those which concern us. So the faith that Augustine discovers and builds can shape and support us in our journey as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are nine sections, each discussing a theme of faith, such as how we come to faith, how we should read the Bible, how we grow in faith after baptism, why there are conflicts and divisions within the Church, and how we can best worship in a community and pray privately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are frequent extracts from the \u003cem\u003eConfessions\u003c\/em\u003e, in Hammond’s own lively and engaging translation; she then shows the thinking behind them and grounds them in a contemporary setting by placing her own stories and experiences alongside. She firmly avoids all academic and critical comment, not even providing references to the extracts that she chooses. Each section finishes with a Bible passage, some questions for discussion and a prayer. This locates the book very firmly within the Christian life of the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book brings one of the great thinkers of the past vividly into the present.
