The Confessions of Augustine have long both demanded and eluded the
sustained and serious attention to detail that a scholarly
commentary can provide. The present work, which is in three
volumes, seeks to supplement that lack. A revised Latin text of the
Confessions in Volume I forms the basis for a detailed line-by-line
commentary (Volumes II-III) designed to elucidate the many layers
of meaning in the work. Placing the emphasis primarily on exegesis,
Professor O'Donnell opens up new lines of interpretation, as well
as giving an abundance of fresh detail to some more familiar
themes. At the same time, he clears the way for further scholarly
work by furnishing the materials for others to draw on and press
the task of interpretation further. A particular feature of the
commentary is its attention to the influences in the Confessions of
other texts of the Greek and Latin traditions - biblical,
ecclesiastical, philosophical, and literary; whilst the place of
the Confessions in Augustine's own life and in the history of
Christian literature is also illuminated with greater precision.
