>>Confessions - St. Augustine

Hard to get through. The guy comes across as someone playing Renfield to a divine Dracula. :)

Very witty, for sure.

I think, though, that this shows that if you don’t have Romans as background that you actually accept (personally), then, you are quite right, something like Confessions comes across as a bit heavy-handed, if not a bit creepy.

This makes me wonder if Confessions should ever be part of a traditional humanities curriculum in a post-Christian culture?
