Saint Augustine's book, Confessions, tells how increasing your knowledge through reading leads you to a "conversion" in which you begin to remember things and their relevance through memory. Socrates emphasizes the concept of increasing knowledge as a way to grow. Socrates was also the one who wanted to give his all to teaching Saint Augustine. Saint Augustine uses his life to show us what the quest for God should look like. He believed in beginning one's journey by first reading about God through books such as the Bible. Once one believes in God, one will have experienced a conversion in which one's memory will allow one to remember what one has read about God and apply them in one's life. We will analyze the relationship between reading, conversion and memory and their relationship with the quest for God, taking the life of Saint Augustine as an example to follow. The relationship between reading, conversion and memory is that to go through conversion one must read and be able to recall important information through memory. As St. Augustine speaks to God, he says: “For you have given man to come to knowledge of himself through the knowledge of others, and to believe many things about himself under the authority of women” (p. 7). ) With this statement, Augustine shows us that God believes that we should learn from one another and that the primary method of learning from one another is through reading each other's literary works. He also believes that once you read something, it can "convert" or change the way you think and see things. He displays this belief in the following remark: "...let him read here of me while I remember and confess them of myself, let him not do it in spite of me - for...... middle of paper .......94).In conclusion, the life of Saint Augustine is a good example of the concepts of reading, conversion and memory, which we can use as a guideline in the quest for God. As we have seen throughout the book, St. Augustine went through many processes of reading, conversion, and memory. He experienced these conversions not only academically, but also religiously. He went from not believing in God to reading the Bible, including the Platonic books and Hortensius by Cicero. It was after reading these literatures that he began to believe in God and embarked on a religious journey to understand God and Jesus Christ. It was during this journey to understand God and Jesus Christ that he used his memory to remember the things he read and how they related to what he was trying to understand at the time.
