Augustine, Friends and Family: Best Friends Forever

Dr. Maureen Tilley, The Thomas F. Martin Saint Augustine Fellow.

In his Confessions Saint Augustine claimed that as a young man he was in love with love and with loving. While most commentators focus on his passion for sex, his passions extended to friendship too. Like many of us he cultivated all sorts of relationships: friends, acquaintances, lovers and family.

When Augustine became a Christian he re-evaluated his friends and family members and friendship generally. His re-evaluation and the form it takes in the Confessions have implications for modern friends who pledge "Best Friends Forever."
