from 413 to 426 profoundly influenced Christianity, argued against Manichaeism and Donatism, and helped to establish the doctrine of original sin.
An Augustinian follows the principles and doctrines of Saint Augustine.
People also know Aurelius Augustinus in English of Regius (Annaba). From the Africa province of the Roman Empire, people generally consider this Latin theologian of the greatest thinkers of all times. He very developed the west. According to Jerome, a contemporary, Augustine renewed "the ancient Faith."
The Neo-Platonism of Plotinus afterward heavily weighed his years. After conversion and his baptism in 387, Augustine developed his own approach to theology and accommodated a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed in the indispensable grace to human freedom and framed the concept of just war. When the Western Roman Empire started to disintegrate from the material earth, Augustine developed the concept of the distinct Catholic spirituality in a book of the same name. He thought the medieval worldview. Augustine closely identified with the community that worshiped the Trinity. The Catholics and the Anglican communion revere this preeminent doctor. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider his due teaching on salvation and divine grace of the theology of the Reformation. The Eastern Orthodox also consider him. He carries the additional title of blessed. The Orthodox call him "Blessed Augustine" or "Saint Augustine the Blessed."

A beautiful autobiography & prayer book by Saint Augustine, but I would not call this a "must read." It is edifying, and beautiful, and relatable, but it is a journey many have taken. It is worth the read if you have the time, but if you do not have the time don't worry about having to make room for it.

Reading this text allowed me to realize that Charlie Kirk, in speaking for his faith in Jesus the Christ, left himself open to the possibility of receiving the Invective of a world that usually seeks to rebuke, criticize and trammel down those who proclaim themselves as followers of the pilgrim's road to the anointed one. Three stars, I only read the first fifty psalms, about 178 pages.

Always pious and encouraging, rarely tied to anything but the typological meaning of the Psalms, and even then, Augustine paints with a broad brush.
