Like the first Hackett edition of the Augustine's Confessions, the
second edition features F. J. Sheed's remarkable translation of
this classic spiritual autobiography with an Introduction by noted
historian of late antiquity Peter Brown. New to this edition are a
wealth of notes on literary, philosophical, biblical, historical,
and liturgical topics by Michael P. Foley, an Editor's Preface, a
map, a timeline, paragraph numbers in the text, a glossary, and a
thorough index. The text itself has been completely reset, with
textual and explanatory notes placed at the foot of the page for
easy reference.
