Augustinus (354–430 CE), son of a pagan, Patricius of Tagaste in North Africa, and his Christian wife Monica, while studying in Africa to become a rhetorician, plunged into a turmoil of philosophical and psychological doubts in search of truth, joining for a time the Manichaean society. He became a teacher of grammar at Tagaste, and lived much under the influence of his mother and his friend Alypius. About 383 he went to Rome and soon after to Milan as a teacher of rhetoric, being now attracted by the philosophy of the Sceptics and of the Neo-Platonists. His studies of Paul’s letters with Alypius and the preaching of Bishop Ambrose led in 386 to his rejection of all sensual habits and to his famous conversion from mixed beliefs to Christianity. He returned to Tagaste and there founded a religious community. In 395 or 396 he became Bishop of Hippo, and was henceforth engrossed with duties, writing and controversy. He died at Hippo during the successful siege by the Vandals.

【按语:“忏悔(Confession)”的含义是“一种宗教上具权威性的言说:赞美上帝、责备自我、认信信仰”(邓绍光为石敏敏译的奥古斯丁的《论灵魂及其起源》撰写的导言第12页);本书大约著于公元400年左右,语言极度优美;记述了信仰的历程,包括一个个智识疑惑的克服和意志脆弱...
评分这个生于北非的圣人说,人类可以在上帝之光的照耀下,认识真理,健全理性. 是一本充满了虔诚与信仰的书. 刚刚看了一小部分,感觉是可以让我彻底安静下来去读的文字. 时而心潮澎湃地吐露对神由衷的赞美.时而痛心疾首的宣泄对人类和他自己的大声斥责. 时而他会深陷回忆,扪心自问,只与...
评分一本仰慕了很久的书,很早以前就想看了。书中除了作者自传性的深切忏悔之外,还包括了作者许多的哲学和神学思想,幸好本书的译者也是一名基督徒,能够将书中的精华表达出来。 如果给一位涉世未深的无神论者看的话,可能觉得此书相当的啰嗦,而且用词也有点肉麻。但对于...
评分前年和朋友在武大瞎逛时遇到三个基督教徒,向我们传教。这三个人笑脸盈盈地朝我们走来,笑得特别慈善,特别假,走过来就说能不能耽误我们几分钟向我们传达一下主的恩典,朋友一听就拉我走,但我认为这三个人是打着传教的幌子想骗我们买什么东西或者是搞传销的,抱着“我看...
评分如今还困惑着现代人们的问题,在1600年前先哲就已经深度思考并给出自己的答案。 《忏悔录》是公元394~400年奥古斯丁写的一本以祈祷自传手法所写的自传体回忆录,距今已经1620年,整整跨越了16个世纪,令人称奇的是,在一千多年前,先哲早于对困扰如今绝大多数人的问题和烦恼进...
