The conflict of these two passions is the subject matter of the story he tells in his Confessions. Outside Scripture it is the most famous of all spiritual books. It is altogether timeless, completely at home in every age; no change of spiritual mood eclipses it. This translation~now in its ninth impression~has not only won universal acclaim for its accuracy and verve, but is "more complete" than most available translations. It contains all the Books I~X, which are Augustine's spiritual autobiography, but it also contains Books XI~XIII, which are a commentary on the first chapter of Genesis and scarcely seem to belong to the story of his conversion at all. Nevertheless, they shed vast light upon questions which had troubled him on his way to conversion, and at the same time provide a profound discussion of the nature of God and of Creation, of time and eternity, of spirit and matter.
