Summary:
The second Hackett edition of the Sheed translation, a classic in its own right, offers a wealth of notes on philosophical, theological, historical, and liturgical issues raised by the "Confessions", as well as paragraph numbers of the Latin critical edition, and a thorough index.

Beautiful translation of a classic text
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Sheed's translation of this classic of Western and Christian culture is truly beautiful. He went beyond presenting an accurate translation; beyond a clear translation. He gave us a translation that is accurate, clear, and sonorous. The footnotes, introductions (one by famous Augustine scholar Peter Brown), and index make this a solid scholarly edition. This is a translation I will reread often.

the editor's preface
 Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
Michael P. Foley's "Editor's Preface" to this edition of Confessions contextualizes the translation well. It serves to locate Sheed's translation historically and academically. The "Editor's Preface" also discusses the cover art for this edition. That discussion is not only an insightful description of the art, but also relates the art to the text effectively.
