ABSTRACT
Augustine was a prominent theologian of the early Middle Ages, was a bishop in Hippo, and a prolific author. His major works include Confessions, The city of God, and On the Trinity. He also wrote dozens of minor theological and philosophical treatises, gave hundreds of sermons, and wrote hundreds of letters, many of them being theological treatises in their own right. Augustine believed that all knowledge is locked in the human soul, in which he followed Socrates and Plato. The fact that illumination is the work of God and that only God inwardly reveals the truth, that is, reveals Himself, does not mean that the role of a person is limited to waiting passively until it happens. Augustine never explicitly stated that the concept of God is inborn or that it is imprinted in the human mind. Augustine believed that there was no more of an important task in human life than learning about God and one's own soul.
