Review
"Anyone proposing another general field theory of the Confessions will have a major task being both as economical and as comprehensive as O'Connell is."
Synopsis
When this book was originally published in 1969, it added fuel to a controversy (sparked by the author in a previous work) that continues unabated to the present day.Now, available for the first time in a paperback edition, it offers a new generation of readers a detailed exposition of the Confessions, showing how the Plotinian view of man as a fallen soul is present in this work and, furthermore, that it is the key to its interpretation.
