Augustine of
Hippo - Christ, not
Peter, is
The Rock
Matthew 16:13 When
Jesus came into the region of
Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the
Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, “Some say
John the Baptist, some
Elijah, and others
Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “
Blessed are you,
Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but
My Father who is in heaven. 18
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of
Hades shall not prevail against it.

St. Augustine - (354-430),
Bishop of Hippo and "
Doctor of the Church"
Accepted by most scholars to be the most important figure in the ancient
Western church, St. Augustine was born in
Tagaste, Numidia in
North Africa. His mother was a Christian, but his father remained a pagan until late in life. After a rather unremarkable childhood, marred only by a case of stealing pears,
Augustine drifted through several philosophical systems before converting to
Christianity at the age of thirty-one. At the age of nineteen, Augustine read
Cicero's
Hortensius, an experience that led him into the fascination with philosophical questions and methods that would remain with him throughout his life. After a few years as a Manichean, he became attracted to the more skeptical positions of the
Academic philosophers. Although tempted in the direction of Christianity upon his arrival at
Milan in 383, he turned first to neoplatonism, During this time, Augustine fathered a child by a mistress. This period of exploration, including its youthful excesses (perhaps somewhat exaggerated) are recorded in Augustine's most widely read work, the
Confessions.
During his youth, Augustine had studied rhetoric at
Carthage, a discipline that he used to gain employment teaching in Carthage and then in
Rome and Milan, where he met
Ambrose who is credited with effecting Augustine's conversion and who baptized Augustine in 387.
Returning to his homeland soon after his conversion, he was ordained a presbyter in 391, taking the position as bishop of Hippo in 396, a position which he held until his death.
Besides the Confessions, Augustine's most celebrated work is his
De Civitate Dei (On the
City of God), a study of the relationship between Christianity and secular society, which was inspired by the fall of Rome to the
Visigoths in 410. Among his other works, many are polemical attacks on various heresies:
Against Faustus, the Manichean; On
Baptism; Against the Donatists; and many attacks on Pelagianism and Semi-Pelagianism. Other works include treatises
On the Trinity; On
Faith,
Hope, and
Love; On Christian Doctrine; and some early dialogues.
St. Augustine stands as a powerful advocate for orthodoxy and of the episcopacy as the sole means for the dispensing of saving grace
. In the light of later scholarship, Augustine can be seen to serve as a bridge between the ancient and medieval worlds. A review of his life and work, however, shows him as an active mind engaging the practical concerns of the churches he served.
