Augustine

Augustine of Hippo (354–430) was born in Roman North Africa to a pagan father and a devoutly Christian mother, Monica, whose relentless prayers for his conversion became legendary. After a youth of intellectual restlessness and sensual indulgence, he converted to Christianity in 386 and became Bishop of Hippo, where he spent the rest of his life writing, preaching, and shaping the theology of the Western church.
