Description
Augustine the African by Catherine Conybeare re-centers Augustine of Hippo's African identity, showing how his major works emerged not from Europe but from North Africa during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Drawing on letters and historical evidence, Conybeare reveals how Augustine's exile and African context shaped his theology, challenging traditional narratives and highlighting Christianity's deep roots in Africa.

Description
In 430 AD, in the besieged city of Hippo, seventy year-old bishop Augustine recalls his reckless youth, his days as a renowned but dissolute orator, and how after converting to the guilt-free tenets of Manichaeism, he was called to the imperial court in Milan to serve as opponent to the Christian bishop Ambrose, but was finally converted to Christianity through the patience and devotion of his mother Monica.
