Faith amid turbulence

Cities are often associated with progress and culture. A capital city represents the best, the newest, freshest and most intelligent ideas. Evangelism often focuses on the city. So what if a city goes into decline? There is a great apologist who, many years ago, thought hard about this.

Without doubt, one of the most influential Christian thinkers, after the authors of the New Testament, is Augustine. Born in North Africa in 354 AD, he went on to become a bishop in the church during the decline of the Roman Empire. Not all his ideas are considered Biblical, but we can all learn from his defence of the faith in a time of social turbulence.

Autobiography

Augustine wrote widely on diverse subjects including the Trinity and the interpretation of the book of Genesis. Many have read, at least in an abridged version, his Confessions, which is an early form of autobiography.
