Starter Question for Confessions

Starter Question for Confessions

Our book’s introduction claims:
“This is, as far as we know, the first authentic ancient autobiography, and that fact itself is a significant expression of the Christian spirit, which proclaims the value of the individual soul and the importance of its relation to God.”

Using this quotation, find examples from our selection that demonstrate this concern with the individual (the self) and its relationship to God. Where do you see this point most clearly presented in our reading? Explain why.
