The Church Father, St. Augustine of Hippo was a Manichaean 'Auditor' from 373 to 382, when he converted to orthodox Christianity.

It was Augustine who developed the notion of original sin, which had been unknown as a central theme of Christian thought.

He saw humanity as almost irredeemably wicked and perverse, rejecting any idea of some innate goodness. To him, salvation is an entirely undeserved act of grace that plucks us from our filthy state of evil.
