about me
On November 13, 354 in Tagaste, Numidia, St. Augustine was born
(now Souk Ahras, Algeria). Among the Latin Fathers of the Church,
he was a Christian theologian and bishop. By incorporating classical
ideas into Christian doctrine, Augustine developed a theological
framework that has had a significant and enduring impact. His many
written works—of which The City of God (c. 413–426) and
Confessions (c. 400) are the most significant—shaped biblical
exegesis and served as a major influence on much of the thinking of
the Middle Ages and Modern Christianity. In Roman Catholicism,
Augustine is officially acknowledged as a doctor of the church.
