“recorriendo con la memoria, llena de amargura, aquellos mis caminos perversísimos, para que tú me seas dulce, dulzura sin engaño, dichosa y eterna dulzura, y me recojas de la dispersión en que anduve dividido en partes cuando, apartado de la unidad, que eres tú, me desvanecí en muchas cosas.”

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.
