The Confessions, written when he was in his\nforties, recounts how, slowly and painfully, he came to turn away from his\nyouthful ideas and licentious lifestyle to become one of Christianity's most\ninfluential thinkers. A remarkably honest spiritual autobiography, the\nConfessions also addresses fundamental issues of Christian doctrine, and many\nof the prayers and meditations it includes are still an integral part of the\npractice of the faith today.

However, in 387 he renounced all his\nunorthodox beliefs and was baptised. His surviving works had a great influence\non Christian theology and the psychology and political theology of the West.\nR.S.
