Augustine of Hippo,

ISBN 0520227573

There is one classic biography of Augustine published almost forty years ago and still the best. And even better is a new edition published last year in which the author adds an epilogue in which he discusses recently discovered letters and sermons by Augustine (Yes! It sounds incredible doesn’t it that we could still be finding works by Augustine, but that is the nature and excitement of scholarship.)
