AUGUSTINE’S RELIGIO-EDUCATIONAL PRAXIS AS A STUDENT

Résumé

This work has studied Augustine’s experiences as a student, beginning from the time of his rudimentary education at home, under the tutelage of his mother, through the periods of his basic education in Thagaste and his studies at the University of Carthage. However, by 373, Augustine had completed his studies at Carthage and thus marked the end of his student years, not minding that his quest for wisdom and knowledge continued until his death. The purpose of engaging in this study is to help students drink from the experiences of Augustine as a student. Augustine had his share of difficulties, distractions, likes and dislikes; and these are for the leadership of every student who aspires for greatness. For the purpose of this study, the historical method of inquiry was adopted.
