Augustine the African / Catherine Conybeare.
Augustine the African by Catherine Conybeare re-centers Augustine of Hippo's African identity, showing how his major works emerged not from Europe but from North Africa during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Drawing on letters and historical evidence, Conybeare reveals how Augustine's exile and African context shaped his theology, challenging traditional narratives and highlighting Christianity's deep roots in Africa.
