What is Wisdom From Africa : Theological Reflections on the Confessions of St. Augustine about?

This book offers an in-depth analysis and theological reflection on the thirteen books of Augustine's Confessions . It seeks to cover the major points raised by Augustine in his Confessions and discuss them in a way that will give insight and encouragement to the reader. This work does not propose to reflect on every section of every book of the Confessions , but rather to discuss the major points noted in each book. In addition, thoughtful questions are listed at the end of each chapter, to stimulate further discussion and hopefully encourage personal questions as well. Because Augustine's Confessions are an honest assessment of his failures as well as his final victory in Christ, there is something for everyone in the pages of this work. "A humane, appreciative, and historically contextual exposition of Augustine's Confessions . Organized according to the stages of life, Burris draws out the implications of Augustine's experience for everyday living and pastoral care. This is at one and the same time a strong introduction to Augustine's thought and a manual of practical wisdom." --Christopher Ocker, San Francisco Theological Seminary; The Graduate Theological Union, Berkel
