Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE), a prominent theologian, philosopher, and bishop in Roman North Africa, profoundly influenced Western Christianity and philosophy. Known for works like Confessions, The City of God, and On Christian Doctrine, he developed doctrines on original sin, grace, just war, and ecclesiology. His thoughts shaped medieval theology, inspired Protestant Reformers, and continue to impact Christian teachings.
