Description
Contrary to what many people believe, The Confession of Saint Patrick is not an autobiography. There are some autobiographical elements contained within, but it's more of a long letter written towards the end of his life in defense of a personal attack made against him by those in a position of power and authority. The Confession is so steeped in theology and scripture that, even in modern times, Patrick's intelligence and education show through. Reading his Confession it becomes quite clear that no matter what else you might say about St. Patrick's intelligence or authority, he was definitely a person rooted in the Bible. St. Patrick's Confession will prove a good read for Christians and non-believers alike. Any good man's regrets, or his handle on his faith, should give anyone of conscience, pause for personal reflection. No man, save "the one", leaves this life "innocent of sin", and St. Patrick's Confession should endear him to everyone.
