A journey in search of truth

Born into a noble and wealthy pagan family in Poitiers, Aquitaine, around 310, he was able to receive an education befitting his status. He felt compelled to seek the truth from a young age and, at the end of his journey, he converted to Christianity. He was baptized when he was 30 years old. Reading the Gospel of John gave him with an opportunity to find answers to his questions. He described his personal journey in the introduction to his famous work on the Trinity (De Trinitate), in which he highlighted the stages a pagan goes through to come to know God.
