We just learned about the Saint Ninian in Scotland.
Another person from early Christianity is Saint Augustine of Hippo.
Saint Augustine wrote over 50 books, that helped Christians understand the Bible.
His most famous ones were:
- The City of God: In the year 410 the city of Rome was attacked and defeated by some other people who didn't believe in God. Many people were nervous that this would mean the end of Christianity, so he wrote this book to help give people hope.
- On Christian Teaching: This book helps people understand the books of the Bible, and tells Christian teachers and preachers how to teach the truth.
- Confessions: This was Saint Augustine's book about his own life, and how he became a Christian and asked for forgiveness.
He wrote many other books about things like the Trinity and about people needing free will to believe in God.
