 Holy cow. This is written 1600 years ago. Every great saint needs a great mind in the modern day to help them out. It's a rhetorical masterpiece. I did not experience Augustine's true masterpiece until I've read your translation. The whole of Augustine's confessions always was, even in the biographical part, about what the universe is, what a human being is, why or how we are made in the image of God. The sheer brilliance is astonishing. It's deeply moving because he's a sinner. So are we. He was not in control of the story of his life. Well, we're not either. But this is the story authored by God, not by ourselves. The fact is that Augustine needs our help today. You've done it and I think this is going to become the gold standard translation for generations to come.
