St. Augustine, a celebrated Doctor of the Church is not just a theologian but a philosopher whose thoughts and teachings did not only make their way to the Magisterium of the Church but influenced generations of philosophers, theologians, and thinkers after him. His teachings on the preeminence of faith over reason were key in unlocking both the problems of theological knowledge and ethics. After his conversion, St. Augustine’s life dramatically changed as he devoted his time not only in philosophical discourse but on theological studies and service to the Church where after his ordination to the priesthood, he spent most of his pastoral life not only in preaching and teaching but in debating against the heresies of his time. St. Augustine’s deep commitment as a philosopher, theologian and defender of faith is worthy of intellectual reckoning because his life and teachings run through such “extreme passion and doubt” that even the sinner can draw hope from his conversion, the devout can follow in the footsteps of his holiness, the philosopher and theologian can learn from his wisdom and the student in arts and humanities will perpetually feel interest in the struggling of a soul to disenthrall itself from the fierce promptings of passion and the seduction of intellectual pride. His epistemology and teachings promote the idea of philosophy as the servant of theolog which consequently looks at the world as seen in and through God, rather than God seen in and through the world.
