Augustine In The Confessions

Decent Essays
In the first part of The Confessions, Augustine starts by a prayer to God. I found this part usually because many people do not start a book by a prayer. This also shows that Augustine is going to be religious because he is in the search of God. Right away, this sets a difference between Socrates and him because Socrates was not religious and he not question the existence of God or was in search of him. However, Augustine begins to question this because he does not know how he looks and how can he find somehow who he will not recognize. Another part that I found interesting was how he envy his infancy because he did not need to speak and he was granted everything he needed. This is somehow true because infants do get everything they want

    It is impossible to write a book about the self without bias; each statement is crafted to appear a certain way. Consequently, readers must evaluate if statements made about the self are true or simply crafted through rhetorical devices. In one of the first books written of the self, Saint Augustine, later the Bishop of Hippo, writes of his conversion to Catholicism using a blend of rhetoric and scripture to persuade readers to evaluate their own selves. In his book, Confessions, Saint Augustine utilizes humility, contrast between the past and the present, and parallels from earlier passages and the Bible in order to create a persuasive stylized performance of his conversion to Catholicism. Humility plays a crucial role in Confessions and…

    Augustine And The Aeneid

    Desire is very prevalent in both Augustine’s Confessions and Virgil’s Aeneid. It often has dangerous consequences--whether it be falling away from God and spirituality, like Augustine, or shirking away from pietas like Aeneas. The Confessions illustrates how desires and choices can morph into habits which tear a person away from God whereas the Aeneid demonstrates that desire and furor are nearly interchangeable, and when gone wrong, can have deadly outcomes. The gravest consequence of desire for Augustine as seen in Confessions is him drawing himself away from God.…

    In St. Augustine’s Confessions, he admits that he has not been able to follow all of the rules after his promise of a ‘cleaner life.’ He states that he is tempted by ‘pleasures of the flesh’ while he dreams and he questions why reason fails him in his sleep. St. Augustine even asks, “I am myself when I am asleep?” because he is confused about why his dreams do not follow his new beliefs. He stresses that he is able to ignore the temptations while he is awake, but he cannot control them in his sleep.…

    Evil is not a force, in itself, evil is the absence of good, evil does not come from a devil, or darkness or an evil deity. Augustine goes on a spiritual and metaphysical journey throughout the confessions. His beliefs evolve as travels to different places. He adopts several philosophies, before coming back to Christianity, like all of humanity must do according to himself. His ideas about evil similarly, follow this progression, Augustine disregards the Bible as being unsophisticated, and searches for a source of evil elsewhere.…

    During the course of Augustine’s life he became a close friend to many, not just those who were affiliated within his community. The experience that he had with certain friends were a pivotal aspect of the stories and reflections written in Confessions. Over the course of Augustine’s life, he shows maturity in his interactions with his friends and begins to alter his selfish behavior. During Augustine’s spiritual journey he has dealt with friends that diverged him from his spiritual calling and friends that brought him closer to his calling. Relationships that both improved and stunted his spiritual development shed light on Augustine’s morality because certain actions put Augustine’s morals into question.…

    In Confessions, Saint Augustine confesses, “I was ashamed not to be equally guilty of shameful behaviour when I heard them boasting of their sexual exploits…I used to pretend I had done things I had not done at all, so that my innocence should not lead my companions to scorn my lack of courage” (II. iii (7)). Saint Augustine was embarrassed by not having done anything to brag about to his peers. He told lies, saying he had done things he had not, so that his peers would not think badly of him. He did not want them to believe he lacked in courage or that he was inferior. Saint Augustine’s peers lead him to perform acts that he would not do otherwise.…

    Within the Confessions St. Augustine divides his thoughts up into various sections of his life. Two sections that spoke out more than the rest were firstly the topic of his dear friend who had passed away; the next was that of the consolation in others. St. Augustine pondered on the memories that he had shared with his fellow friend along with the grieving process that encompassed death. He looked to God to help him cope with the loss as well as the fluctuating emotions that entailed. As humans, we tend to seek consultation within others after a loss of a loved one such as St. Augustine did.…

    For Augustine, the sacred Scripture played a significant role in his conversion and acceptance of God’s grace in his life. After Augustine had been contemplating his poor life choices, he had opened the Bible and read the first passage that he saw, which told him to convert and Augustine immediately did so. After his conversion to Catholicism, he lost all the fears and doubt about God and the differences between good and evil that he had been harboring inside of…

    Abelard and Augustine: Devout Sinners and Christians Abelard and St. Augustine felt compelled to write of their mistakes and misfortunes reflective of their lives. Despite the fact they did so in efforts to confess their sins, the two differ in a multitude of ways. Some of which include their approach for convincing people religion can provide them with salvation, or their attitudes towards religion in their earlier life. St. Augustine wrote within the first century where Christianity was a competitor when it came to religion. Up until this time, Roman Paganism was undoubtedly the main religion within Europe.…

    Augustine’s Deep Thoughts of Sin and Suffering Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, is unarguably one of the most influential church fathers whose views have helped shape modern protestant theology. He largely contributed to shaping a bible-focused theology that transformed Europe and the majority of the world, and many modern theologians dream of reaching the international stature that Augustine did. But to reach that stage that Augustine got to, did not come easy. He went through a lot of doubts and suffrage, but all of it would ultimately help create the man who still today, is teaching and leading people to Christ.…
