Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of an initial analysis of indicative verb tenses in Saint Augustine’s Confessions according to reception aesthetics and some suggestions taken from the theories of Harald Weinrich. The tales of conversion are analyzed from this prospective as examples of the author’s existential itinerary. The use of the past perfect gains particular significance as a tense for retrospection by pointing out times when God, from eternity in which He is always and forever, becomes present in human history and in Augustine’s life in particular.
