Augustin, premiere
serie: Opuscules, IX: Exposes generaux de la foi (Paris, 1947).
It remains for me to express my appreciation to the General
Editors of this Library for their constructive help; to Professor
Hollis W. Huston, who read the entire manuscript and made many
valuable suggestions; and to Professor William A. Irwin, who
greatly aided with parts of the Enchiridion. These men share the
credit for preventing many flaws, but naturally no responsibility
for those remaining. Professors Raymond P. Morris, of the Yale
Divinity School Library; Robert Beach, of the Union Theological
Seminary Library; and Decherd Turner, of our Bridwell Library here
at Southern Methodist University, were especially generous in
their bibliographical assistance. Last, but not least, Mrs.
Hollis W. Huston and my wife, between them, managed the difficult
task of putting the results of this project into fair copy. To
them all I am most grateful.
AUGUSTINE'S TESTIMONY CONCERNING THE CONFESSIONS
I. THE Retractations, II, 6 (A.D. 427)
1. My Confessions, in thirteen books, praise the righteous
and good God as they speak either of my evil or good, and they are
meant to excite men's minds and affections toward him.
