Life
Saint Augustine of Hippo was one of the greatest theologians and philosophers in Christian history. Born in 354 in North Africa, he lived a dissolute youth before his dramatic conversion, recounted in his autobiographical Confessions. As Bishop of Hippo, his writings profoundly shaped Western theology. His mother, Saint Monica, prayed tirelessly for his conversion.
