This study deals with Augustine's theory and practice of the poor and poverty, thereby clarifying and explaining what he takes to be the spiritualisation of the poverty in late-antique North African community. The works of the bishop of Hippo, such as the early treatises, Sermons to the people, City of God, and Expositions of the Psalms, show the consistent and persistent tendency to spiritualise the poverty in an era of crisis. This research has been stimulated by the growth of international exchange among Australian, Korean, and Japanese scholars.
