Aurelius Augustinus (354 - 430), Augustine of Hippo, initially followed the Manichaean religion, then Neoplatonism and finally.converted to Christianity in 386. He abandoned his career in rhetoric, quit his teaching position and devoted himself full time to religion, celibacy and the priesthood.

Augustine became a famous preacher and was noted for combatting Manichaeism and Donatism. It is largely due to Augustine that Western Christianity established the doctrine of original sin, a key source of division with the Orthodox Churches.
