In Augustine of Hippo: His Life & Impact, Bradley G. Green offers a clear, balanced, and engaging portrait of one of the towering figures of Christianity. Augustine’s legacy is immense — from his influence on doctrine, grace, and church order, to his personal struggles and spiritual journey. Yet for many readers today, Augustine remains distant or misunderstood.

Green’s biography brings Augustine into sharper view. He does not shy away from the difficult questions Augustine raised or the debates he provoked. Instead, he helps the reader see how Augustine’s love for God, seriousness about sin, and articulation of grace shaped his life and work. He also provides guidance on how to read Augustine’s major works and how to engage the controversies around him from ecclesiology to predestination.

Whether you are a student diving into church history, a pastor seeking to understand Augustine’s theological influence, or a Christian reader looking to know the man behind Confessions and City of God, this book offers a reliable and readable introduction. It helps you understand where Augustine stood on the great themes of the faith and invites reflection on how his insights can still enrich our understanding of God, grace, and the Christian life.
