Extractions: (Transferred this year to Mon 5 May) After his baptism, Augustine and a younger brother Navigius and Monnica planned to return to Africa together, but in Ostia, the port city of Rome, Monnica fell ill and said, "You will bury your mother here. All I ask of you is that, wherever you may be, you should remember me at the altar of the Lord. Do not fret because I am buried far from our home in Africa. Nothing is far from God, and I have no fear that he will not know where to find me, when he comes to raise me to life at the end of the world." O Lord, who through spiritual discipline didst strengthen thy Servant Monnica to persevere in offering her love and prayers and tears for the conversion of her husband and of Augustine their son: Deepen our devotion, we beseech thee, and use us in accordance with thy will to bring others, even our own kindred, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever.

Island Of Freedom - St. Augustine
Biography, quotes, and links to English translations of works by augustine of hippo.
http://www.island-of-freedom.com/AUGUST.HTM

Extractions: Saint Augustine was one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of early Christianity and the leading figure in the church of North Africa. He had a profound influence on the subsequent development of Western thought and culture, and shaped the themes and defined the problems that have characterized the Western tradition of Christian theology. His two most celebrated writings are his semiautobiographical Confessions and City of God , a Christian vision of history. Augustine was born at Thagaste in Numidia, which is part of present day Algeria. His father, Patricius (died about 371), was a pagan (later converted to Christianity), but his mother, Monica, was a devout Christian who labored untiringly for her son's conversion and who was canonized by the Roman Catholic church. As a child he was schooled in Latin literature and later went to Carthage to study rhetoric, where he became a teacher. By the age of twenty he turned away from his Christian upbringing. He was repelled by its codes of behavior, but he never completely renounced it. At Cathage he became enthusiastic about philosophy after reading Cicero's Hortensius . He considered becoming a Christian, but experimented with several philosophical systems before finally entering the church. For nine years, from 373 until 382, he adhered to Manichaeism, a Persian dualistic philosophy then widely current in the Western Roman Empire. With its fundamental principle of conflict between good and evil and its claim of a rational interpretation of Scripture, Manichaeism at first seemed to Augustine to correspond to experience and to furnish the most plausible hypothesis upon which to construct a philosophical and ethical system. Moreover, its moral code was not unpleasantly strict; Augustine later recorded in his

Extractions: t. Augustine was a Third Century rhetorician who became a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Augustine was also a prolific writer on many subjects such as the liberal arts and Greek Pagan philosophy. His writings greatly influenced the development of the church as well as western culture and education. Augustine was born to a pagan father and Christian mother in the city of Tagaste, in the Roman colony of Numidia (now known as Algeria). His formal education began at the public school in nearby Madaura, where Augustine was introduced to the polite language of Latin. Up until this point, he had for the most part spoken the Punic dialect of Numidia, and he became enthralled with the world of literature opened up to him through Latin. Augustine's studies of pagan Latin literature (particularly Cicero and Virgil) would greatly influence his style in later writings. After recieving his degree in Rhetoric from the university at Carthage, Augustine went to work as a teacher of rhetoric. It was at this time that Augustine read Cicero's "Hortensius", in which Cicereo places wisdom and th pursuit of truth above the value of Rhetoric. Augustine soon vecame torn between his ambition for a great career as rhetorician, and the pursuit of spiritual truth and wisdom(Fulop-Miller, 1945). His search for answers led him to the philosophy of Manichaeism (Brown, 1967). Augustine returned to his hometown of Tagaste and established himself there as a professor of rhetoric. He used his post there to advance the teachings of the Manichaes. When Augustine's closest friend died, he became disenchanted with this dualist philosophy because it could not produce answers to assuage his grief. This event left Augustine in a state of confusion with a complete lack of confidence. The brilliant rhetorician of Tagaste gave up his teaching to return to Carthage, where he again took up teaching while searching for a philosophy to solve the riddle of his Self (Fulop-Miller, 1945).
BIO: Augustine Of Hippo
Hillsdale College Department of Philosophy and Religion. August 28, Saint Dayof augustine of hippo (28 August 430). A brief biography by James Kiefer.
http://www.hillsdale.edu/dept/Phil&Rel/Biography/08/28.html

Extractions: A brief biography by James Kiefer 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.

Extractions: African Christianity Homepage Tertullian See James J. OÕDonnell, Augustine the African AugustineÕs thought can be conveniently divided into four main issues, with his responses to each of the four. Much of AugustineÕs early intellectual pilgrimage was wrapped around his struggles with the nature of evil. AugustineÕs mother, Monica, had raised him as a north African Christian. Christianity in North Africa had a lively sense of the reality and pervasiveness of evil. As he was growing up, Augustine rejected the Christian (both Catholic and Donatist) anwer to the problem of evil, largely because he saw Christianty as an unsophisticated religion for peasants and women. He turned first to Manicheanism , a dualistic religion that resolved the problem of evil by blaming it on the powers of an evil god, and explained the history of the universe as an eternal struggle between two equal forces. After a number of years as a Manichean "hearer", Augustine rejected the Manichean worldview because he believed it was based on bad science [Confessions Book V]. Augustine then turned to Neoplatonic philosophy , which allowed him to explaine the existence of evil in a way that satisfied him even after his full conversion to Christianity. For Augustine, evil has no reality in itself, but is merely the absence of good, just as darkness has no reality in itself, but is merely the absence of light Ñone does not "turn on" the dark, one "turns off" the light. As such evil, or sin, is the choosing of the lesser good when one ought to choose a greater good. For example, the sin of gluttony is the result of loving food too much, or loving food more than loving justice or good health.

Extractions: Education Career Ideas and Contributions Augustine developed the Christian principles of original sin, divine grace, and predestination. The theological aspects of both Catholic and Protestant theology are based Augustine's ideas. His ideas also influenced the Reformation leaders John Calvin and Martin Luther, and philosophers Immanuel Kant and Blaise Pascal. His psychological ideas were first published in Confessions , one of the earliest great autobiographies. His insightful descriptions of subjective events (e.g., the will, experienced freedom of the will, the self) begin the tradition of introspection and phenomenology in psychology. Augustine discussed the perception of time and concluded that time is an inner experience, i.e., it is psychological. He anticipated Descartes concerning the proof of self-existence: to doubt is to think, to think is to exist. (Zusne, p. 14) Through the medieval period and the reintroduction of Aristotle's ideas, Augustine's thoughts on psychology were the only accepted ones. Augustine espoused Plato's view that the soul is immaterial and immortal, and that the body is material and mortal. He believed that knowledge was obtained through self-awareness and not from sensory impressions. He thought of the mind as a unity with independent facilities (reason, memory, will and imagination) and originated what is now known as faculty psychology. (Zusne)

Extractions: The City of God: excerpts on the Two Cities St. Augustine (354-430) is the most important of the Latin Church Fathers. His work formed the foundation for much of what would become Western Christendom. He was born Tagaste in North Africa and became bishop of the city of Hippo. His other writings include Confessions, the first autobiography in the West. He began writing The City of God in 410, after Alaric and the Vandals had sacked Rome. Many pagans blamed the conversion of the empire to Christianity for this calamity. Augustine tried to defend the Church by tracing the history of two cities or states from the beginning of the world.

Extractions: (see Augustine is acknowledged as having been one of the most important influences on the development of the western Christianity.[ ] The theological system he developed dominated the mediaeval church until the thirteenth century and its influence is still felt today.[ ] A large number of his writings have survived and we know a great deal about his life from his Confessions and Revisions; from a contemporary biography,[ ] and from his letters, (over 200 of which have survived).[ ] His most famous work, Confessions (written about 397), was not intended simply as an autobiography as such. Rather, it is a long prayer of penitence and thanksgiving for the grace of God evidenced during the first 33 years of his life.[ ] Numerous modern biographies have been written[ ] and so I will sketch only a brief outline of his life.
