AUGUSTINE of HIPPO, Book of MEDITATIONS

Original calf binding. Aurelius Augustinus, Augustine of Hippo, or Saint Augustine, was one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity, considered to be one of the church fathers.

He framed the concepts of original sin d just war. In Roman Catholicism and the Anglican Communion, he is a saint and pre, eminent Doctor of the Church, and the patron of the Augustinian religious order.

Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and grace. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, he is a saint, and his feast day is celebrated annually on June 15, though a minority are of the opinion that he is a tic, primarily because of his statements concerning what became known as the filioque clause. Among the Orthodox he is called Blessed Augustine, or St. Augustine the Blessed.

Blessed does not mean that he is less than a saint, but is a title bestowed upon him as a sign of respect. The Orthodox do not remember Augustine so much for his theological speculations as for his writings on spirituality. Born in present day Algeria as the eldest son of Saint Monica, he was educated in North Africa and baptized in Milan.

His works, including The Confessions, which is often called the first Western autobiography are still read around the world.
