Penned by Romano Guardini (1885-1968), one of the most profoundly insightful minds of the 20th century, this unique text…is a meditative unfolding of a defining moment in the history of Western civilization. A professor of religion and theology at the University of Munich, as well as a religious humanist, and an accomplished man of letters, Guardini wrote numerous influential works in several fields. This book is no exception to the Guardini rule: lucid explication of ideas and events central to the creation of Western culture. The merit of Guardini’s beautiful book, writes Louis Dupre…consists in having restated Augustine’s eternal insight in the light and darkness of contemporary existence. This title is, therefore, an unequaled aid for educators, students, and general readers wishing to understand the perennial issues embodied in the conversion from paganism to Christianity of the last Father of the Church.-Goodreads."Those who know and love the Confessions can expect to be amazed at how much more the personality and the conversion of this great religious genius will mean to them, seen through the eyes…of the author of this penetrating and beautiful study."-Virginia Kirkus"For all libraries concerned with theology, philosophy, and the spiritual giants of our Christian era, this book is a rare find."-Library Journal
