His writings, most famous among them Confessions and City of God, helped give definition, clarity, and shape to the early church's theology on topics such as original sin, predestination, and the nature of man.  Augustine also spoke into topics such as sexual ethics and the evil of slavery.

The Kingdom of Aksum, which existed from roughly 100 AD until 940 AD and spanned East Africa and beyond, including modern-day Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Sudan, is considered one of Africa’s greatest empires. Aksum, in the northern region of Tigray, served as Ethiopia’s capital until the seventh century CE. At its peak, the kingdom controlled territory stretching from southern Egypt to the Cushite Kingdom of Meroe, east to the Gulf of Aden, south to the Omo River, and west to the Gulf of Aden.

In the 4th Century AD, a Syrian missionary named Frumentius shared the gospel with King Ezana of Ethiopia.

In the fourth century, Aksum converted to Christianity and adopted the Orthodox faith. It was during King Ezana’s reign that this happened. The Aksumites worshiped and believed in a variety of gods and deities before turning to Christianity, including Astar, Beher, Meder/Medr, and Mahrem.
