Omschrijving
Samenvatting:While there can be no doubting the profound sincerity and the permanence of Augustine's conversion in 386, it apparently did not transpire as described in Conf. VIII. Pauline textes that are important to the Confessions and especially to the conversion process are absent from Augustine's writings in the 8 years after the events of the eight book supposedly occured. Rom. VII, 14-25 is unique in that it goes back to Augustine's earlier writings and seems to have been the source of the self-revelationary character of the Confessions and of the paulinizing of the conversion scene.
