MSt. Augustine

St. Augustine was a prominent 4th-5th century Christian theologian and philosopher from North Africa whose ideas profoundly shaped Western Christianity. He explored themes like the nature of God, the human soul, and morality, emphasizing God's grace as essential for salvation. Augustine also contributed to understanding original sin, asserting that human nature is affected by Adam's fall. His writings, especially "Confessions" and "The City of God," blend personal reflection with theological insights, influencing Western thought on faith, morality, and the purpose of life. Augustine’s work remains central to Christian theology and philosophical discussions about human nature and divine grace.
