Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) took great pains to create and project a powerful image of himself beyond the churches and towns where he wrote and taught in Roman north Africa. He succeeded in this self-presentation beyond his wildest dreams.
Augustine may have been the first saint to find a home page on the Internet and he has dwelled here, in a comfortable corner of the afterlife, since early 1994. In that year, he was the subject of the first of a series of seminars conducted over the Internet. The materials here were first gathered for that purpose, but have grown since. Suggestions and additions are always welcome. To explore the page, please use the navigation bar at the left.
April 2001: Augustine in Algeria: In April, 2001, an international conference on Augustine was held in Algiers and Annaba (= Hippo Regius) under the joint sponsorship of the Algerian and Swiss governments. I have prepared a very informal trip report with photographs that may be of interest to students and scholars.
