The Great Philosophers: Augustine
Saturday, 25 October, 2025
Peter Bolland, professor of philosophy and humanities at Southwestern College, explores the lasting influence of Augustine of Hippo. Born in North Africa in 354, Augustine—now known as Saint Augustine—is remembered as one of Christianity’s most important thinkers. He shaped core beliefs like the doctrine of original sin and wrote The City of God, a work meant to comfort Christians after Rome fell to the Visigoths in 410. His words offered guidance in a moment of chaos and uncertainty. Closer to home, Augustine dedicated his life to persuading the people of Hippo to embrace Christianity, tirelessly working to share his vision of faith, community, and resilience.
