Fourth-century bishop and theologian whose writings shaped Western Christian thought for over a millennium.
Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) was a North African bishop whose theological works — especially Confessions and City of God — became foundational texts for Western Christianity. His ideas on original sin, grace, and predestination influenced both Catholic and Protestant theology. Before his conversion, he lived a famously dissolute life, making his spiritual autobiography one of the most relatable works in Christian literature.
