Augustinian Heritage

Augustinian Heritage refers to the spiritual and theological contributions of Saint Augustine of Hippo, a prominent Christian theologian from the 4th-5th centuries. It emphasizes ideas like the importance of God's grace in human salvation, the concept of original sin, and the significance of inner spiritual transformation. This heritage deeply influences Western Christianity, shaping doctrines about divine authority, human nature, and ethical life. Augustine’s teachings highlight the need for divine help to overcome human flaws and guide moral living, forming a foundational part of Catholic, Protestant, and Western Christian thought.
