Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Christian African philosopher St. Augustineâs conceptions of nature, miracle, and sin, as presented in his writings. The author first examines the influences shaping St. Augustineâs ideas, such as his Christian upbringing, African heritage, Manicheanism, Platonism, and skepticism. The book discusses how, for Augustine, nature is the work of a single, good God, created out of nothing. It highlights St. Augustineâs struggle to reconcile this view with the existence of evil, which he ultimately defined as âprivation of beingâ or the absence of goodness. Furthermore, the book reviews Augustineâs thoughts on the human will, voluntary actions, and moral responsibility. It investigates Augustineâs view that humans have free will as an essential characteristic, despite their determination by the divine prescience. The author notably explores the interplay between nature and miracles in Augustineâs thought, arguing that the latter do not contradict nature but rather reveal the fullness of Godâs power. Finally, the book demonstrates how Augustineâs insights into nature, miracle, and sin have had a lasting influence on Christian theology and Western thought.
