Biographical Text

St. Augustine of Hippo, born Aurelius Augustinus, was an early Christian theologian and philosopher. Raised as a Christian, Augustine left the church for a while in his youth, working as a teacher. In 386 he converted back to Christianity, and was ordained in 391. He became well known for his sermons against Manichaeism and in 395 he was named Bishop of Hippo and there wrote his major works, Confessions and the City of God. His work is still used as the basis of theological teachings. Augustine died in 430 and was canonized a saint in 1298.
