St Augustine Of Hippo Analysis

In the book Confessions, “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us”, Saint Augustine once said those words (Confessions Quotes). He is also known as Saint Augustine of Hippo and his original Latin name is Aurēlius Augustinus. He was born on November 13, 354 CE in Tagaste, Numidia. It is now Souk Ahras, Algeria. It is a “modest Roman community in a river valley” about 40 miles from the African coast. However, he died on August 28, 430 CE, in Hippo Regius which is now known as Annaba, Algeria. The work filled with a Christian view and represents human history as part of a great plan (O'Donnell, James).
Aurēlius Augustinus became a bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430. “He is one of the Latin Fathers of the Church, one of the Doctors
sed non tenebatur modus ab animo usque ad animum, quatenus est luminosus limes amicitiae, sed exhalabantur nebulae de limosa concupiscentia carnis et scatebra pubertatis, et obnubilabant atque obfuscabant cor meum, ut non discerneretur serenitas dilectionis a caligine libidinis”( The Confessions (Book II)). It is translated into: “But what was it that I delighted in save to love and to be beloved? But I held it not in moderation, mind to mind, the bright path of friendship, but out of the dark concupiscence of the flesh and the effervescence of youth exhalations came forth which obscured and overcast my heart, so that I was unable to discern pure affection from unholy desire” (Aurelius Augustine). In this quote it talks about the path of love someone has to go through. It is still used today. It starts off with the question saying what happiness in saving love is. I think that in book 5 of About City of God, I think it flows well with Confessions. It starts off with “Disputat Augustinus primo de fati quaestione tollenda, totumque qui propter virtutem et fatum disponuntur ad incrementum Romano imperio, quae non possunt reduci ad falsos deos iurat, ut ostensum est in libro superiore. Deinde probat quod non est contradictio praescientia Dei et liberum arbitrium. Deinde loquitur de moribus Romanorum ostendit qualiter ipsi etiam ob virtutem et quantum ad voluntatem Dei, auxit imperium, cum non coluerunt eum. Denique iam exponit quid sit esse veram felicitatem Christianorum imperatorum” (Augustine: De Civitate Dei Liber V). It translate into, “Augustine first discusses the doctrine of fate, for the sake of confuting those who are disposed to refer to fate the power and increase of the Roman empire, which could not be attributed to false gods, as has been shown in the preceding book. After that, he proves that there is no contradiction between God's prescience and
