“... The soul which is led by God and His wisdom, rather than by bodily concupiscence, will certainly never consent to the desire aroused in its own flesh by another's lust.”

Christian theologian and philosopher, from Thagaste to Hippo Regius

Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was a Christian theologian and philosopher from Thagaste in Numidia Cirtensis. He served as Bishop of Hippo Regius and became one of the central figures of the Latin Church in the Patristic period. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. His writing helped shape Christian theology for centuries, and his ideas remain important in discussions of faith, reason, and the moral life.
