Which 4th-century bishop of Hippo wrote the autobiographical 'Confessions'?

Which 4th-century bishop of Hippo wrote the autobiographical Confessions? Augustine of Hippo did.

Augustine (354–430) was born in Thagaste in Roman North Africa and became bishop of Hippo Regius in 395. His Confessions, written around 397–398, recounts his childhood, education, youthful ambitions, involvement with Manichaeism, conversion to Christianity, and eventual baptism under Ambrose of Milan.

Despite its title, the work is more than a conventional life story. Augustine addresses God directly, combining autobiography with prayer, biblical interpretation, and reflection on memory, time, desire, and grace. Its 13 books became one of the foundational works of Latin Christian literature and a major influence on later autobiography.

Readers sometimes confuse Confessions with Augustine’s City of God, another famous work. City of God was written partly in response to the sack of Rome in 410, whereas Confessions focuses primarily on Augustine’s spiritual and intellectual journey. Augustine remained bishop of Hippo until his death during the Vandal siege in 430.
