He became bishop of Hippo in 396 and held that position until his death. Before becoming a Christian, Augustine lived a very secular life. His mother Monica prayed for him diligently and at age 32, during a trip to Milan, Augustine heard the preaching of St. Ambrose, was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and became a Christian. His numerous written works, the most important of which are his \u003ci\u003eConfessions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCity of God, \u003c\/i\u003e shaped the practice of biblical exegesis and helped lay the foundation for much of medieval and modern Christian thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDR.
