About St Augustine
St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) was a North African theologian and philosopher whose writings, particularly "Confessions" and "The City of God," profoundly influenced Christian thought and Western philosophy. Born in Thagaste (modern-day Algeria), he experienced a tumultuous youth before converting to Christianity at the age of 32, after which he became a bishop and a key figure in the development of doctrines on grace, free will, and original sin. His legacy endures as a Doctor of the Church, and his insights continue to resonate in theological discussions today.
