I was not sure what was factual and what was fiction. You have to remember that Saint Augustine was likely trying to sway the readers with this piece of literature. Why would he be completely honest with us? Especially if he is one of 'great faith' and associates himself with the church. As a reader of this text I do not make any sort of pact---I do not trust this work and take it with a grain of salt. Wouldn't this work be considered a tool for swaying the public, and glamorizing the conversion to a particular religion?
CHECK OUT: http://www.myspace.com/saintaugustineofhippo this is an interesting blog by someone who is I assume obsessed with Saint Augustine maybe he can answer our questions.
