Description

Nature and Grace is a philosophical and theological work written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential Christian theologians and philosophers of the early Church. The book explores the relationship between human nature and divine grace, and the role that each plays in the salvation of the soul.At the heart of the book is Augustine's belief that human beings are inherently flawed and sinful, and that only through the grace of God can they be saved. He argues that while human nature is created by God and reflects the divine image, it is corrupted by sin and cannot save itself. Instead, salvation comes through the gift of divine grace, which is freely given by God to those who seek it.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on biblical texts and the writings of other Christian thinkers to support his arguments. He also engages in a dialogue with the pagan philosophers of his time, such as Cicero and Plato, to show the superiority of the Christian understanding of nature and grace.Nature and Grace is a complex and challenging work, but it is also a profound meditation on the nature of human existence and the relationship between humanity and God. It remains an important text in Christian theology and philosophy, and is widely read and studied by scholars and students of religion.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 .
