Best Answer

The philosopher, theologian, and saint, Augustine of Hippo, has meant much to the Christian West for quite a few important reasons, including his dedicated service to the Church as a bishop (in a very difficult time) and his prolific writings. Perhaps above all, however, Augustine was an extraordinarily honest man: he opened up his life, good and bad and otherwise, for all to see and to learn from, especially through the book that has become a Christian classic, "The Confessions."
