About Saint Augustine
Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) was a Christian theologian and philosopher whose writings profoundly influenced Western Christianity and philosophy. Born in present-day Algeria, he led a tumultuous early life marked by a search for meaning through various philosophies before converting to Christianity under the influence of Saint Ambrose. Augustine's key works, including "Confessions" and "The City of God," explore themes of grace, free will, and the nature of God, establishing him as one of the most significant figures in Christian thought.
