Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify the implications of Augustine''s Confessions books 10 and 11 for Christian anthropology through the analysis of Augustine’s theory of memory and time within each of the books. To this end, after analyzing the concept of love(amor) revealed in the entire book of Confessions, the idea of memory(memoria) is analyzed as the place where the journey of a yearning soul toward God takes place. In the analysis of Book 11, after analyzing time(tempus), which is the structure in which memory expands, the dynamics and limitations of human existence are described through the dialectic of time and eternity. The truth of a human being revealed through these analyses is the destiny of a soul always yearning for God, its ultimate source and purpose, within the realm of memory and time, never reaching God without the help of Jesus(verax mediator).
