Question

1. How did St. Augustine lead his community as a Bishop? Explain.

2. Did St. Augustine experience an easy ruling in his time as Bishop? Why?

Answer 1

1. After St. Paul, Augustine is perhaps the most influential Christian theologian. He integrated Classical ideas to Christian doctrine, resulting in a powerful theological framework with long-term sway. He also influenced biblical exegesis and helped create the groundwork for much of the community's medieval and modern Christian theology.
2. No. St Augustine's struggles with celibacy and sin led to a change in Christian tradition: the notion that sin is caused by the individual rather than the devil's influence.
