THE Life AND Times OF ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO Greatest of the Latin Fathers and one of the most eminent Western Doctors of the Church, Augustine was born on November 13, 354 in Thagaste, Numidia (now Souk Ahras, Algeria). His father, Patricus (died around 371) was a pagan (later converted to Christianity) but his mother, Monica, was a devout Christian who labored untiringly for her son's conversion and who was later on canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Augustine was educated as the rhetorician in the former North African 1/5 cities of Tagaste, Madaura, and Carthage. Between the ages of 15 and 30, he lived with a Carthaginian woman (name unknown) who bore him a son whom he named Adeodatus (Latin for \"The Gift of God\").

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO CONTINUED... EARLY LIFE and CONVERSION Augustine with his mother, Monica Augustine was born at Thagaste (modern Souk Ahras, Algeria), a small town in the Roman province of Numidia. He received a classical education that both schooled him in Latin Literature and enabled him to escape from his provincial upbringing. Trained in Carthage in rhetoric (public oratory), which was a requisite for a legal or political career in the Roman Empire, he became a teacher of rhetoric in Carthage in Rome and, finally, in Milan, in a seat of imperial government at the time. At Milan, the year 386, Augustine underwent a religious conversion. He retired from his public position, received baptism from Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, and soon returned to North Africa. In 391, he was ordained to priesthood in Hippo Regious (modern Annaba, Algeria). Five years later, he became Bishop. The first part of Augustine's life (year 391) can be seen as a series of attempts to reconcile his Christian faith with his classical culture. His mother, Saint Monica, had reared him as Christian. Although her religion did not hold an important place in his early life, Christianity never totally lost its grip upon him. 2/5

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO CONTINUED... As a student in Carthage, Augustine encountered the classical ideal of Philosophy's search for truth and was fired with enthusiasm for the philosophical life. Unable to give up Christianity altogether, however, he adopted Manichaeism, a Christian heresy claiming to provide a rational Christianity on the basis of a purified text of the Scriptures. Nine years later, his association with the Manichees ended in disillusionment and it was in a religiously detached state that Augustine arrived in Milan. There, he discovered through a chance reading of some books on Neo-Platonism, a form of Philosophy that seemed compatible with Christian belief. At the same time, he found that he was at last able to embrace the philosophical life. The result was the dramatic conversion that led Augustine to devote his life to the pursuit of truth, which he now identified with Christianity. With a small group of friends, he returned to North Africa and, in Thagaste, established a religious community dedicated to the intellectual quest for God. 3/5

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO CONTINUED... LATER LIFE  and INFLUENCE Augustine's ordination, forced upon him unexpectedly by popular acclamation during a visit to Hippo in 391, brought about a fundamental change in his life and, through it, redirected his attention from the Philosophical Christianity he had discovered in Milan to the turbulent, popular Christianity of North Africa's cities and towns. His subsequent career as priest and bishop was to be dominated by controversy and debate. Especially important were his struggles with the Donatists who promoted a Christian separatist movement, maintaining that only they were valid. Augustine's counterattack emphasized unity, not division, as the mark of true Christianity and insisted that the validity of sacraments depended on Christ Himself, not on any human group or institution. Pelagianism, an early 5th century Christian reform movement, held that 4/5 no person could excuse from meeting the full demand of God's law. In doing so, it stressed the freedom of the human will and its ability to control motives and argued that because of Original Sin, one can entirely govern his own motivation and that only the help of God's grace makes it possible for persons to will and to do good in both of these controversies. Augustine opposed forces that set some Christians apart from others on grounds either of religious exclusivism or moral worth.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO CONTINUED... LATER LIFE and INFLUENCE Augustine must be reckoned as one of the architects of the united Christianity that survived at the barbarian invasions of the 5th century and emerged as the religion of the medieval Europe. He succeeded in bringing together the philosophic Christianity of his Congregation in Hippo. In doing so, he created a theology that has remained basic to Western Christianity, including Roman, Catholic, and Protestant, ever since. Considered as the Patron Saint of brewers, printers, theologians, and several cities and dioceses, he was canonized by popular acclaim and, in 1298, he was recognized as Doctor of the Church by Pope Boniface VIII. His Feast Day falls on the 28th of August. 5/5
