Saint Augustine was a 4th century philosopher whose philosophical work merged the Christian doctrine with . Augustine was born in the Roman province of Numidia, which is in modern-day Algeria in 354 A.D. His mother, Monica, was a Christian who encouraged him to stay within the Church but his father was a pagan. However, at a young age, Augustine left the church and lived a sensual lifestyle for a particular period of time. Consequently, In 370, he went to Carthage to study rhetoric.
