Publisher's Synopsis
Nature and Grace is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the fourth and fifth centuries. The book explores the relationship between human nature and divine grace, and how these two concepts interact in the lives of individuals.Augustine argues that human nature is inherently flawed and that only through the grace of God can individuals achieve salvation and redemption. He also discusses the concept of predestination, the idea that God has already chosen who will be saved and who will not, and how this relates to the role of free will in human decision-making.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, classical philosophy, and his own personal experiences, to support his arguments. He also addresses criticisms of his views and offers responses to objections raised by other philosophers and theologians.Overall, Nature and Grace is a complex and nuanced exploration of some of the most fundamental questions in Christian philosophy and theology. It remains a significant work in the history of Western thought and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today.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 .
