Paper Summary:

This paper first provides a biographical account of the life and death of Saint Augustine of Hippo. The paper then goes on to discuss Saint Augustine's theological philosophies and beliefs and how he came to arrive at these beliefs.

From the Paper:

"Saint Augustine, also known as Aurelius Augustinus, was born in 354 A.D. in the small town of Thagaste in the Roman province of Numidia (now located in northeastern Algeria). His parents seem to have been bohemian in nature and part of the middle class; his hard-drinking father Patricius apparently developed the symptoms of alcoholism quite early along with severe emotional disintegration in the form of obsessive womanizing and violent outbursts toward his son and wife. This prompted Augustine's mother Monica to turn to religion and give up the bohemian lifestyle which then transformed her frustrations and disappointments with life into ambitious designs for her obviously gifted and talented son."
