Augustine, who lived from 354--430 A.D., was born in Roman Africa, the s...on of a pagan father and a Catholic mother. Augustine received a classical education, but was fired for philosophy and logic. However, when he found faith, he hungered and thirsted for righteous living---an inspirational account.  According to his contemporary, JEROME, Augustine "established anew the ancient Faith." After his baptism and conversion to Christianity in 387, Augustine developed his own approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and perspectives. Believing that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, he helped formulate the doctrine of original sin and made seminal contributions to the development of just war theory.  In the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, he is a saint, the patron saint of brewers, printers, andtheologians.
