On a Pilgrimage with Augustine's Confessions
Reflections and Insights of a Restless Wanderer
About this book
In his ground-breaking work The Confessions, Augustine of Hippo (AD 343-430), a prominent theologian and philosopher of early Christianity, paved the way for self-disclosure and the art of writing one's life story. In On a Pilgrimage with Augustine's Confessions, Dr. Blom delves into Augustine's role as both protagonist and reflective narrator, portraying him as Christianity's original existential hero.
Blom draws parallels between Augustine's journey and that of the wanton prodigal son, viewing Augustine's address to God as the voice of an 'everyday man' struggling to find his way home – a spiritual homecoming. By masterfully weaving together Jungian archetypal psychology, mythology, biblical interpretations, and autobiography, Blom invites the reader to embark on a captivating journey that bridges the gap between Augustine's musings and meditations from the fifth century and the present day.
On a Pilgrimage with Augustine's Confessions offers a fresh perspective on a timeless classic, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to explore the depths of the human soul and the enduring relevance of Augustine's wisdom.
