  • S. 142: „Msgr. Guardini probes the mind of St. Augustine with his usual brilliant psychological insight. He analyzes the saint´s moral problems, spiritual gropings and mental processes which preceded his conversion. As a result we have the necessary background not only to understand his Confessions but also the rest of his vast theological thought.“

    • „Part Two of the book is given over to a superbly wrought explication, book by book of The Confessions. more analytical presentation of the concepts used in The Confessions. The cool organization-man mentality would have repelled him as almost approaching a condition of negativity and deadness. But perhaps Msgr. Guardini´s characterization of thinking from the heart implies going too far in the other direction. .. There was richness of mind and richness of heart and both were in balance.“

  • S. 139: „Guardini's range and depth should present his thoughts on the great Bishop of Hippo. In his newest book Romano Guardini has written a series of stimulating reflections prompted by The Confessions of St. Augustine. The first two-thirds of the book is made up of essays on the interpretation of the interior process which The Confessions describe, and the final third of the book deals more specifically with Augustine´s conversion in a chronological manner. The book does not attempt to add new historical matter to what we know of Augustine; the primary purpose ist o lay a basis for interpreting The Confessions. This volume is a result of a series of lectures which Monsignor Guardini gave, preparing his listeners for the concepts used in The Confessions. Like a good teacher Guardini gives new insights, presents different lines of thought, and in general prods the reader to new points of view. Even for the reader who has made The Confessions a yearly literary joy, a Guardini essay such as "Amazement over Existence" will give the next reading a deeper significance. One small but important aspect of the book would be the quotations from Frank Sheed's excellent translation of The Confessions. Although the jacket blurb confidently announces that his book is indispensable for those who have not yet read The Confessions, the author does presume a familiarity with the intellectual and spiritual road of Augustine's conversion. Unless the reader has some acquaintance with Augustine, many of the insights which Monsignor Guardini unveils will be lost. For most readers The Conversion of Augustine will not be light, bed-time reading. This book, like the others of Romano Guardini, is the fruit of a provocative thinker and it demands an equal effort on the part of the reader if the views which the author presents are to be appreciated. For anyone who has caught the greatness of The Confessions this book will make the next reading a far more profitable experience.“

    • "Mgr. Guardini first published this book in 1935 so that what the publishers' jacket describes as his latest book to receive an English translation has had to wait rather a long time for it, in view of the author's popularity. The translation is welcome, and it reads very well indeed. But that the date of the original is nowhere mentioned is a little unfair to Mgr. Guardini, since it would explain why he takes no account of the modern debate on the Confessions which centres on Pierre Courcelle's Recherches of 1950. The story of Augustine's youth and conversion is kept for Part II, where it can be illuminated by the more general discussion of Part I, in which there are many striking pages. Some of them are difficult, some disputable: the concept of the valid is not very clear, and the 'philosophy of the heart raises many problems. Some may think that the author has found rather too much of himself in Augustine. Mgr. Guardini's reflections upon Christian existence are worth reading for their own sake."
