Publisher's Synopsis
Nature and Grace is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential Christian thinkers in history. The book explores the relationship between the natural world and the divine, examining how the two intersect and interact in the human experience.Augustine argues that nature and grace are not opposed to each other, but rather work in harmony to bring about the ultimate good for humanity. He discusses the role of free will in this process, and how humans can use their own agency to align themselves with the divine will.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the nature of God and the second part exploring the nature of humanity. Augustine draws on a wide range of sources, including scripture, classical philosophy, and his own personal experiences, to make his arguments.Nature and Grace is considered a foundational text in Christian philosophy and theology, and has been highly influential in shaping the way that Christians think about the relationship between God and the natural world. It is a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in exploring the deeper questions of faith and philosophy.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5, by Saint Augustin .
