Questions: Augustine was a Christian from birth to adulthood.

The answer is False.

Explanation:

• Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was not a Christian from birth. He was born in 354 AD in Thagaste, a Roman province in North Africa, to a Christian mother, Monica, and a pagan father, Patricius.
• Although his mother was a devout Christian, Augustine did not embrace Christianity during his early years. Instead, he explored various philosophical and religious beliefs, including Manichaeism, a religion that combined elements of Christianity with Persian and Indian influences.
• It was not until later in his life, around the age of 31, that Augustine converted to Christianity. His conversion was influenced by several factors, including the prayers and influence of his mother, the teachings of Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan, and his own philosophical inquiries.
• Augustine's conversion is famously described in his autobiographical work, "Confessions," where he recounts his spiritual journey and the moment of his conversion in a garden in Milan.
