Summary/Abstract: In this written work I shall tend to present the compreheration of God by St. Augustine through transformation of his reflection with God himself and kay questions: what is God for him, how did he get to comprehend him, and how did he deal with the problem of the ways to comprehand God. St. Augustine’s modus of thinking was in a way a crossroad in the contemplation and for others wisemen of the era. Through his understanding of the concept of God, there is way of comprehencion spreading, which reflects the attitude of this philosopher thus the steps that ought to take. That model is a way everyone can lean on in order to take delight in the divine joy bliss. I suppose that St. Augustine wanted to send out a messages to everyone to get closer to Jesus and to get away from desire; the thing that he first found in the book of Apostols, which I will aspire to clarify in this body of work.
