Review
"This is an imaginative approach to the Confessions in which we experience a variety of 'readings' of the Confessions with each writer asking how this particular book might be considered the 'climax' or 'center' or 'key' to the entire work. We are led through careful analyses of Augustine's style, we hear echoes from one book in another, and we gain several suggestions about the structure of the work as a whole.
