This is not a deeply theological blog about Augustine. I will include a little about him because I am using one of his many famous quotes.
So who was he?
Augustine of Hippo was an early Christian theologian and philosopher whose writings influenced the development of Western Christianity and Western philosophy. He was the bishop of Hippo Regius in North Africa and is viewed as one of the most important Church Fathers in Western Christianity.
What Did Augustine Believe?
Three of Augustine’s most important ideas or arguments for the God of Christian theism are the following:
- Rest and peace for human beings is found only in God. As creatures made in God’s image, humans can only find genuine rest and peace for their souls through salvation in Jesus Christ.
- According to Augustine, human beings are dependent upon God’s grace for salvation. Known as the “doctor of grace”, Augustine argued vigorously that Christianity was uniquely a religion of divine rescue instead of a works-based, self-help religion that was advocated by some of Augustine’s opponents.
- In response to the problem of evil, Augustine argued that while evil is real it is not a substance or a “thing.” Rather, evil is a privation, an absence of goodness in the human will. Therefore, God did not create evil; only good. Augustine further argued that the origin of evil resulted when Lucifer chose a lower good (himself) and exalted it above the ultimate good (God).
I am not going to discuss his theology in this blog.
I do strongly support his statement that:

I have been blessed by having travelled extensively and it is my intention to keep seeing new places for many years to come.
