Answer:

Neoplatonic philosophy exerted a great influence on the intellectual formation of Augustine, consolidating his conversion to Christianity. Augustine as a thinker seized as much of the concepts of this movement as possible to create a "Christian philosophy" of his own and to explain it

Augustine was influenced by Neoplatonism because he saw this philosophy as a doctrine capable of helping the Christian faith to become aware of its own internal structure and to defend itself with rational arguments, elaborating itself as theology.
