Augustine of Hippo

On 28 August the Church remembers Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis (354-430), better known as Augustine of Hippo. He was a Bishop, philosopher, theologian, mystic, poet, pastor, preacher and teacher of the faith.  He is the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, and a number of cities and dioceses. He is remembered as the greatest of the Christian Church Fathers. More than any other writer, he developed what would become known as systematic theology, or an explanation of how Christianity fits into views of the universe, creation, and humankind’s relationship with God.
