    Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis (354-430), better known as 

    Augustine of Hippo, is extolled as


    the greatest of the Christian Church Fathers. More than any other writer, he developed what
    would become known as systematic theology, or an explanation of how Christianity fits into
    views of the universe, creation, and humankind's relationship with God.

    When Martin Luther (1483-1546), a former Augustinian friar, protested against the Catholic


    Church, he created the Protestant Reformation utilizing the teachings of Augustine. Through
    the various Protestant denominations and their missions, the Christian Western tradition is
    indebted to the teachings of Augustine.

    Two of Augustine's works are considered classics of Western literature: Confessions, which is


    deemed the first autobiography in the West, and City of God. Augustine left a catalogue that
    contains 113 books, 218 letters, and 500 sermons. His writings are among the most complicated
    of the Church Fathers because over the course of his life, he went back to a theological concept
    to update it as his thoughts evolved and he matured.
