Augustine finally broke with the Manichaeans and was converted by the prayers of his mother and the help of Saint Ambrose of Milan , who baptized him. On the death of his mother he returned to Africa, sold his property, gave the proceeds to the poor , and founded a monastery Monk Priest Preacher ... Bishop of Hippo. Founded religious communities.

Augustine Augustine the African by James J. O'Donnell Augustine was born in Tagaste (modern Souk Ahras, Algeria) in 354 and died almost seventy-six years later in Hippo Regius (modern Annaba) on the Mediterranean coast sixty miles away. In the years between he lived out a career that seems to moderns to bridge the gap between ancient pagan Rome and the Christian middle ages. But to Augustine, as to his contemporaries, that gap separated real people and places they knew, not whole imaginary ages of past and future. He lived as we do, in the present, full of uncertainty. Augustine's African homeland had been part of Rome's empire since the destruction of Carthage five hundred years before his birth. Carthage had been rebuilt by Rome as the metropolis of Roman Africa, wealthy once again but posing no threat. The language of business and culture throughout Roman Africa was Latin. Careers for the ambitious, as we shall see, led out of provincial Africa into the wider Mediterranean world; on the other hand, wealthy Italian senators maintained vast estates in Africa which they rarely saw. The dominant religion of Africa became Christianitya religion that violently opposed the traditions of old Rome but that could not have spread as it did without the prosperity and unity that Rome had brought to the ancient world. Roman Africa was a military backwater. The legions that were kept there to maintain order and guard against raids by desert nomads were themselves the gravest threat to peace; but their occasional rebellions were for the most part short-lived and inconsequential. The only emperors who ever spent much time in Africa were the ones who had been born there; by Augustine's time, decades had passed without an emperor even thinking of going to Africa.

This site was created to further the study of the Early Church's understanding of Genesis 1-11, especially as it relates to contemporary debate regarding origins Over the centuries countless writers have claimed the support of the early church for their position. The problem, of course, is that the church fathers are often called upon for support by both sides in a debate. In many recent books on origins appeals to the early church have featured prominently. Many of these writers demonstrate a poor grasp of the complexity of early church history, simply quoting the writings of the early Christians without regard to either the immediate context or the wider theological framework within which the writer worked. Prompted by the obvious confusion on the subject I began my own study following my graduation from Bible College. This research is now available on-line . Just click on the image below. For those interested in pursuing the matter further I have provided links to primary sources available on the WWW and a select bibliography of material in printed form. For the purposes of this site "Early Church" will be taken to mean the period between the close of the New Testament and the death of Augustine of Hippo in 430 AD.

88. Biography: Augustine Of Hippo, Bishop And Theologian (28 Aug 430) From James Kiefer's Christian Biographies. Includes prayer in traditional and contemporary language. http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/08/28.html

Augustine of Hippo, Bishop and Theologian 28 August 430 When He was 19 and a student at Carthage, he read a treatise by Cicero that opened his eyes to the delights of philosophy. He was from the beginning a brilliant student, with an eager intellectual curiousity, but he never mastered Greek he tells us that his first Greek teacher was a brutal man who constantly beat his students, and Augustine rebelled and vowed never to learn Greek. By the time he realized that he really needed to know Greek, it was too late; and although he acquired a smattering of the language, he was never really at home in it. However, his mastery of Latin was another matter. He became an expert both in the eloquent use of the language and in the use of clever arguments to make his points. He became a teacher of rhetoric in Carthage, but was dissatisfied. It was the custom for students to pay their fees to the professor on the last day of the term, and many students attended faithfully all term, and then did not pay. In his late twenties, Augustine decided to leave Africa and seek his fortune in Rome (41:53 N 12:30 E). In Milan Augustine met the bishop Ambrose, and was startled to find in him a reasonableness of mind and belief, a keenness of thought, and an integrity of character far in excess of what he had found elsewhere. For the first time, Augustine saw Christianity as a religion fit for a philosopher.

The Ecole Glossary Augustine of Hippo Augustine ( CE), bishop, Doctor of the Church, and the most influential theologian of Latin Christianity, was born of a Christian mother and a heathen father. Early in his life he was inspired by the works of Cicero to devote his life to the pursuit of truth. He started this pursuit as a Rhetorician, then he became a Manichaean, and later a Skeptic. Ambrose , bishop of Milan, and Augustine's mother, Monica, were instrumental in his conversion to Catholic Christianity in , though this was facilitated by Augustine's study of Plotinus ' Neoplatonism, which gave him an intellectual access to mystical/spiritual experience. In , he was almost forcibly ordained presbyter at Hippo, and from to , he served as bishop. He wrote many treatises among which we find the celebrated Confessions DOC The City of God and On the Trinity . Many of his writings were directed against heresies, particularly Manichaeism, Donatism , and Pelagianism. He is most noted for founding the Western theological tradition and establishing doctrines of the Trinity and Christology. Elise M. Bender

Augustine (Aurelius Augustinus) was one of the greatest theologians of Western Christianity. (In his day the Mediterranean world consisted of an Eastern, Greek-speaking half and a Western, Latin-speaking half, with different ways of looking at things, and different habits of thought.) He was born 13 November 354 in North Africa, about 45 miles south of the Mediterranean, in the town of Tagaste (modern Souk-Ahras) in Numidia, in what is now Algeria, but near ancient Carthage (modern Tunis). His mother, Monnica , was a Christian, and his father for many years a pagan (although he became a Christian before his death). His mother undertook to bring him up as a Christian, and on one level he always found something attractive about Christ, but in the short run he was more interested in the attractions of sex, fame, and pride in his own cleverness. After a moderate amount of running around as a teen-ager, he took a mistress, who bore him a son when he was about eighteen. Theirs was a long-term relationship, apparently with faithfulness on both sides, and the modern reader is left wondering why he did not simply marry the girl. He never tells us this (and in fact never tells us her name), so that we can only guess. It seems likely that she was a freedwoman, and that the laws forbade marriage between a free-born Roman citizen and a slave, or an ex-slave. When he was 19 and a student at Carthage, he read a treatise by Cicero that opened his eyes to the delights of philosophy.
