Augustine of Hippo (modern day Algeria, Africa)

Here is a great discussion/interview with Dr Kenneth Samples by Vocab Malone about Saint Augustine of Hippo. I really enjoyed this! I only wish they had discussed Augustine's race, There is  much debate as to whether or not he was a black-skinned African. They did not really go there hard.  Vocab tried to soft-ball it by asking if he was a berber. If he was, then he would have looked nothing like a lot of the white-washed paintings of him.

Free audio book: Saint Augustine of Hippo, “Confessions” | True Freethinker

Thanks to Mariano Grinbank for finding this: An audiobook of St. Augustine of Hippo's masterwork "Confessions".

Confessions (Latin: Confessiones) is the name of an autobiographical work, consisting of 13 books, by St. Augustine of Hippo, written between AD 397 and AD 398. Modern English translations of it are sometimes published under the title The Confessions of St. Augustine in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Confessions. (Summary by Wikipedia)

I'm looking forward to wading through this material. It was Augustine who prayed when he was young, "Lord, grant me chastity....but not yet."
