Few thinkers have been as influential as Augustine of Hippo. His
writings, such as Confessions and City of God, have left an
indelible mark on Western Christianity. He has become so synonymous
with Christianity in the West that we easily forget he was a man of
two cultures: African and Greco-Roman. The mixture of African
Christianity and Greco-Roman rhetoric and philosophy gave his
theology and ministry a unique potency in the cultural ferment of
the late Roman empire. Augustine experienced what Latino/a theology
calls mestizaje, which means being of a mixed background. Cuban
American historian and theologian Justo Gonzalez looks at the life
and legacy of Augustine from the perspective of his own Latino
heritage and finds in the bishop of Hippo a remarkable resource for
the church today. The mestizo Augustine can serve as a lens by
which to see afresh not only the history of Christianity but also
our own culturally diverse world.
