Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author addresses the philosophical and theological thought of Augustine of Hippo, that is, St. Aurelius Augustine, in which he especially focuses on his eschatology, giving a short overview of the central themes of his eschatological thought. In the first part, the author gives Augustine’s historical background by presenting his short biography. Also, in this historical overview, he presents Augustine’s capital work “De Civitate Dei” upon which the paper is primarily founded. Before the actual engagement in Augustine’s eschatology, the author briefly acquaints the reader with the development of eschatological thought until Augustine and then moves on to the central (selected) eschatological themes such as individual judgment, eternal life, purgatory, hell, the Last judgment and the resurrection.
