Theology On The Street
Augustine is one of the greatest theologians the church has ever produced. He lived in the fourth century and played a key role in the development of the doctrine of the Trinity. Central to Augustine’s theology was his idea of the Doctrine of Original Sin. To appreciate Augustine, I recommend you pick up a copy of his book, Confessions.
