Describing an intellectual journey that will resonate especially with readers at the beginning of their own journey, Clausen shows that Augustine's early writing career was an outworking of his own inner turmoil and discovery, and that both were to summit, triumphantly, on his monumental book \u003ci\u003eConfessions \u003c\/i\u003e(AD 386-401).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Love, Confession, Surrender and the Moral Self\u003c\/i\u003e offers a way of looking at Augustine's early writing career as an on-going, developing process: a process whose chief result was to shape a conception of the moral self that has lasted and prospered to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIan Clausen\u003c\/b\u003e is Arthur J.
