This study of the Confessions engages with contemporary
philosophers and psychologists antagonistic to religion and
demonstrates the enduring value of Augustine's journey for those
struggling with theistic incredulity and religious narcissism. Paul
Rigby draws on current Augustinian scholarship and the works of
Paul Ricoeur to cross-examine Augustine's testimony. This analysis
reveals the sophistication of Augustine's confessional text, which
anticipates the analytical mindset of his critics. Augustine
presents a coherent, defensible response to three age-old problems:
free will and grace; goodness, innocent suffering, and radical
evil; and freedom and predestination. The Theology of Augustine's
Confessions moves beyond commentary and allows present-day readers
to understand the Confessions as its original readers experienced
it, bridging the divide introduced by Kant, Hegel, Freud,
Nietzsche, Heidegger, and their descendants.
