He was a Latin-speaking philosopher and theologian who lived in the Roman Africa Province. His writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity.According to his contemporary, Jerome, Augustine established anew the ancient Faith. In his early years he was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterward by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus.After his conversion to Christianity and baptism (AD 387), Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, and he framed the concepts of original sin and just war.This classic work, On Christian Doctrine, was translated into several languages and played an important role in the spreading of the ideals of Eastern and Western Christianity.You can purchase other religious works directly from Wyatt North Publishing.Enjoy.
