Who was St. Augustine?
St Augustine of Hippo ( from Numida, North Africa) is the most important convert to Christianity, next to St. Paul.
His mother Monica was a devout Christian while his father was a pagan. Monica raised Augustine as a Christian but he did not readily accept Christian belief or baptism.
He was educated in philosophy and rhetoric at Carthage and taught in Rome. There he converted to Christianity, was baptized, and eventually became a priest and bishop.
Augustine wrote prolifically, much of which we still have available today, including Confessions and The City of God. (these are affiliate links)
