Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE) was a North African theologian whose writings on sin, grace, and free will shaped Christian thought for centuries; his *Confessions* and *City of God* remain widely read.
Augustine of Canterbury (died 604 CE) was a Benedictine monk who brought Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England.
