The Problem of Evil (Classic Reprint): A Criticism of the Augustinian Point of View: A Criticism of the Augustinian Point of View (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Challenging an old puzzle with a modern lens. This nonfiction work surveys how Augustine’s theory of sin and freedom stacks up against the problem of evil today, including ideas from evolution and human unity.

Two concise chapters frame a critique of established views and sketch why a revised theory of sin must account for universal guilt and individual responsibility. The author foregrounds how freedom, grace, and the will have been treated across debates and what a new synthesis might require.

• Examines the historical debate over free will, grace, and the origin of sin.


• Clarifies how evil is defined, its relation to human nature, and the idea of original sin.


• Discusses the role of evolution and the unity of humanity in forming a fresh approach.


• Outlines a framework that stresses both solidarity of mankind and personal accountability.
