Access to God in Augustine's Confessions

Description:

"This is the final volume in Carl G. Vaught's trilogy reappraising Augustine's Confessions, a cornerstone of Western philosophy and one of the most influential works in the Christian tradition. Vaught offers a new interpretation of the philosopher as less Neoplatonic and more distinctively Christian than most interpreters have thought. In this book, he focuses on the most philosophical section of the Confessions and on how it relates to the previous, more autobiographical sections. A companion to the previous two volumes, which dealt with Books I-IX, this book can be read either in sequence with or independently of the others."--BOOK JACKET.
