	Augustine [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Augustine is a fourth century philosopher whose groundbreaking philosophy infused Christian doctrine with Neoplatonism.
		Augustine tries to reconcile his beliefs about freewill, especially the belief that humans are morally responsible for their actions, with his belief that one’s life is predestined.
		Augustine is the first ecclesiastical author the whole course of whose development can be clearly traced, as well as the first in whose case we are able to determine the exact period covered by his career, to the very day.

	Saint Augustine
		In 391, Augustine was reluctantly ordained as a priest by the congregation of Hippo Regius (a not uncommon practice in Northern Africa), in 395 he was made Bishop, and he died August 430 in Hippo, thirty-five years later, as the Vandals were besieging the gates of the city.
		Augustine feels obliged to confirm, contra the Pelagians, the condemnation of the unbaptized infant, but on a creationist reading of the soul's origin, this is hard to reconcile with divine justice, especially given the notion that the unborn have done neither good nor evil.
		Augustine is acutely aware that scripture has an historical dimension, and he is sensitive as well to the tensions between the scriptural tradition and the Neoplatonic framework upon which he is relying, a tension that comes to eclipse much of the intellectualistic optimism we find in his earliest completed post-conversion works, e.g.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Augustine of Hippo
		Augustine himself tells us that he was enticed by the promises of a free philosophy unbridled by faith; by the boasts of the Manichæans, who claimed to have discovered contradictions in Holy Writ; and, above all, by the hope of finding in their doctrine a scientific explanation of nature and its most mysterious phenomena.
		Augustine undoubtedly remained at Milan until towards autumn, continuing his works: "On the Immortality of the Soul" and "On Music." In the autumn of 387, he was about to embark at Ostia, when Monica was summoned from this life.
		The history of Augustine's struggles with the Donatists is also that of his change of opinion on the employment of rigorous measures against the heretics; and the Church in Africa, of whose councils he had been the very soul, followed him in the change.

		Augustine, troubled in spirit, was greatly drawn by the eloquent fervor of St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan.
		Augustine’s influence on Christianity is thought by many to be second only to that of St. Paul, and theologians, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, look upon him as one of the founders of Western theology.
		Against Donatism St. Augustine directed two works, On Baptism and On the Correction of the Donatists, in which he formulated the idea, since then become part of Roman Catholicism, that the church’s authority is the guarantee of the Christian faith, its own guarantee being the apostolic succession.

		Augustine was one of the most prolific geniuses that humanity has ever known, and is admired not only for the number of his works, but also for the variety of subjects, which traverse the whole realm of thought.
		Augustine has remarked that man is not the master of his first thoughts; he can exert an influence on the course of his reflexions, but he himself cannot determine the objects, the images, and, consequently, the motives which present themselves to his mind.

	Augustine
		Augustine (354-430) is so important in the remolding of Christianity of the fourth and fifth centuries that it's hard not to think of him as a founder of Christianity on a par with the original founders of the religion.
		It is from Augustine, for instance, that medieval and later Christianity will inherit much of the Christian ideology of sexuality; it is from Augustine that the fundamental basis of medieval political theory will be derived; and it is from Augustine that Europeans will derive their sense of the meaning and trajectory of individual lives.
		Augustine himself wrote extensively on the nature of the free will in a variety of works directed against the Pelasgian heresy, which asserted that all human actions are predestined by God and so outside the control of human will.

		Under the tutelage of Ambrose, Augustine converted to Christianity in 386 and was baptized by Ambrose in 387.
		Yet in their moving evocation of the absolute freedom and benevolence of God's grace, working through but ultimately independent from every cultural form and historical person, they present that grace to each generation as a kind of question mark, challenging all particular cultural forms and projects to resist the idolatry of self-deification.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Teaching of St. Augustine of Hippo
		If Augustine occupies a place apart in the history of humanity, it is as a thinker, his influence being felt even outside the realm of theology, and playing a most potent part in the orientation of Western thought.
		Says Eucken: "Never could Augustine have exercised all the influence he has exercised if it had not been that, in spite of the rhetorical artifice of his utterance, absolute sincerity reigned in the inmost recesses of his soul." His frequent repetitions are excused because they are the expression of his deep feeling.
		Augustine has remarked that man is not the master of his first thoughts; he can exert an influence on the course of his reflections, but he himself cannot determine the objects, the images, and, consequently, the motives which present themselves to his mind.
