“…Подчеркивается необычайная привлекательность «Исповеди» для исследователей. Это текст, «соблазняющий интерпретатора» в аспектах его красоты как художественного произведения; феноменологичности описания душевных движений, телесных влечений, впечатлений и чувств; завораживающего переплетения четырех тем: тайна и исповедь, аскетизм и эротизм, принуждение и свобода, время и вечность; уникальной передачи «чувствования Бога в себе» и восхищения творениями Бога (Burrus et al, 2010).…”

Yet the translation of lust into love—the effective switching of the bait—only serves to erode the distinction between lust and love—to remind us of the lust secreted within love” (Burrus, Jordan, and MacKendrick , 18). For Augustine, concupiscent desire is the expression of love for the beautiful things of the world (the things that God made, according to the “Late have I loved you” passage cited above), for bodily things, yes, but really for all the physical, external things.…”
