Editorial Reviews

Joseph Pearce

Joseph Pearce (Internationally acclaimed author of bestselling books such as of Frodo’s Journey, Further Up & Further In, Old Thunder, and C.S. Lewis & The Catholic Church)

“Anthony Esolen in creative union with Saint Augustine is a match made in heaven. Anyone who has read Antony Esolen's books or essays knows that the words fly from his pen with flashes of lucid brilliance. Anyone who has read his poetry knows that the Muse descends like a dove of divinity and ascends again on angelic wings of praise. Anyone who has read his translation of Dante's Divine Comedy knows that he has the humility to put his great gifts at the service of those whose gifts are even greater. This is why Anthony Esolen's creative engagement with Saint Augustine is a marriage of Muses made in heaven. It takes a great mind to grasp the mind of Augustine and a great heart to love the Lord Our God with the burning love of Augustine. Anthony Esolen has a mind and a heart that are equal to the task. I say it again: Anthony Esolen's translation of Augustine's Confessions is a meeting of minds and hearts which is a match made in heaven. May God be praised for bringing these souls together in creative fusion.”

R. Jared Staudt PhD

"Esolen attends closely to both the literal and figurative demands of Augustine's master rhetoric, enabling us to contemplate the great truths of God and conversion with him. We certainly need the spiritual nourishment of this great classic, opened for us anew by Esolen's masterful translation."

C.C. Pecknold, PhD (The Catholic University of America)

"It is a difficult thing to bring the crisp elegance and sonorous beauty of Augustine’s Latin into an equally resonant English register — but Anthony Esolen has done it! This new translation of Augustine’s Confessions sings with the same grace, and pulses with the same power. An absolute triumph!"
