▲Augustine of Hippo
Augustine of Hippo was an early Christian theologian and philosopher
whose writings influenced the development of Western Christianity and Western philosophy. He was the bishop
of Hippo Regius,
located in Numidia.
He is viewed as one of the most important Church
Fathers in Western Christianity for his writings in the Patristic Era.
Among his most important works are The City of God and Confessions.
▲Confessions
(Augustine)
Confessions is the name of an autobiographical work, consisting of 13 books,
by St. Augustine of Hippo, written in Latin between AD
397 and 400. The work outlines St. Augustine's sinful youth and his conversion
to Christianity.
Modern English translations of it are sometimes published under the title The Confessions of St. Augustine
in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles. Its
original title was Confessions in Thirteen Books, and it was composed to
be read out loud with each book being a complete unit. Confessions is generally considered one of Augustine's most important texts. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the Middle Ages.
