Augustine was a convert from Gnostic Manichaeism and kept some of the beliefs and introduced corrupted theology that was later picked up by Martin Luther and John Calvin. One of the most significant corruptions was the concept of original sin, the idea that we are born sinful and that our sin is not total and complete fault of our own.

I was, frankly, quite shocked to learn only a few weeks ago that St. Augustine was a Manichean for many years before converting.
BTW, I was also shocked to learn that Augustine died when his home of Hippo located on the Southern Mediterranean coast was overrun by a bunch of Germanic Vandals!

That book is terribly expensive. Did you get a copy of it?
