Augustine the African
by Catherine Conybeare
St. Augustine (354-430 CE) was one of Christianity’s greatest theologians, author of The Confessions and The City of God, who lived in the declining days of the Roman Empire. In this biography, Bryn Mawr professor Catherine Conybeare tells the story of his life by foregrounding the fact that he was born in Africa and spent most of his life in what is now Algeria.
