Augustin, sfantul nepereche, dupa care filosofia a incetat sa fie alta decat crestina, mirificul cugetator care ni l-a increstinat pe Platon, a ctitorit cultura universala moderna, a invatat si nu inceteaza sa invete lumea cum sa se priveasca pe sine insasi, dar, mai cu seama, cum sa priveasca intru sine insasi, sa O descopere si sa paseasca demna pe inefabila Cale a credintei, sperantei si iubirii, vorbeste, iata, de-acum si romaneste. (Vasile Sav)
Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
