Augustine: The Truth Seeker
Although his mother was a faithful Christian, Augustine managed to stray into a sinful life. His life changed when he realized the truth of the Gospel. Augustine became a bishop and a tower of faith in the early church. His life is a glimpse into the days of Roman Africa and a powerful picture of the wisdom and durability of God’s Word in a pagan culture.
Augustine lived in troubled times near the end of the Roman Empire. Barbarians fought with Romans, and Christianity struggled against the worship of the old gods, and new cults. There were plenty of thrills for ambitious young men who did not care about following God’s laws, and Augustine made sure that he had his fill – despite the upset and shame it would bring to his godly mother.
During all of his wanderings, through the Roman world and through philosophy, it seemed impossible that Augustine would ever return to the truth. But it was possible, and today the Christian church has the proof in Augustine’s life and writings that God can bring the greatest, most stubborn, sinner to himself.
