Augustine is clearly one of those figures with his extensive writings throughout his long career and his debates with the Manichaean and Donatist cults of early church history. And few Christian writings have been as influential as his book Confessions. But his life and writings can be bewildering to modern readers. Thus, book is greatly appreciated and timely. Part biography and part literary critique, Mr. Fox writes about Augustine from his birth through his conversion in Milan in 386 A.D. to the writing of Confessions in 397 A.D. Through it all, Mr. Fox places Augustine in his time and is able to get into his head in a way that should be illuminating for all, both scholars and laymen alike. One of his methods of doing this is by comparing Augustine's life to some of his contemporaries, particularly one Libanius. This is a great move, but it is also a two-edged sword as Mr. Fox parallels their lives so much that you may forget who he is actually writing about, Augustine or Libanius. Plus the inordinate amount of time Mr. Fox does some times take to explain Augustine's thinking may also be a detriment to casual readers. I also found it strange that Mr. Fox would choose to end this biography in 397 A.D. when Augustine will live for another 33 years. While his epilogue does bring us to Augustine's death, I still found it strange that Mr. Fix would only go so far. While this book is dense and may not be for everyone, I highly recommend it people interested in Augustine, his writings and the history of the church in late antiquity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating, though he rambles at certain points *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2020* This book goes through Augustine's life through the writing of the Confessions, comparing each period of life with what is known about that period from history and what Augustine wrote about it in his confessions. It's fascinating and provides helpful context, but occasionally the data seems jumbled together. Sometimes there's too much information poorly synthesized, such as in the Manichaean chapters. I'm not overly impressed with Fox as a writer of prose, but definitely as a scholar and analyst. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a beautifully written review of the life of Augustine from birth ... *by M***P on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2016* This is a beautifully written review of the life of Augustine from birth to the publication of The Confessions. It is bolstered by parallel lives of similarly situated intellectuals from Libya and Turkey; one Christian and one Christian. Perhaps the most valuable part of the book is the discussion of the heresy that consumed nine years of Augustine's life.(My old brain is not coming up with the name at this point). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/20493313-augustine-conversions-to-confessions](https://www.desertcart.at/products/20493313-augustine-conversions-to-confessions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
