Abstract

The Church Fathers and their countless works remain an ever-flowing source of reflection on the Scriptures, on the Christian life and its manifold aspects and experiences. The truth of Henri de Lubac’s affirmation about the “vitalité explosive des Pères” is once again confirmed. Considering the enormous gamut of world literature, the Confessions of St Augustine are considered among the most read works, indeed a bestseller. This is no cliché! Readers’ motivations in perusing this book, in its countless translations, are as varied as the readers themselves.
