Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis (354-430), better known as Augustine of Hippo, is extolled as the greatest of the Christian Church Fathers. More than any other writer, he developed what would become known as systematic theology, or an explanation of how Christianity fits into views of the universe, creation, and humankind's relationship with God. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Augustine\_of\_Hippo/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Augustine_of_Hippo/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Anything here you'd push back on? - Is there a related topic you'd like to see covered? - What questions has this left you with?
