'On The Predestination Of The Saints' Summary
"On The Predestination Of The Saints" is a theological work by Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. The book discusses the concept of predestination and the role it plays in Christian doctrine.
Augustine explores the idea that God has already predetermined the fate of each individual, regardless of their actions or beliefs. He argues that this concept is necessary to explain the existence of evil in the world, as it allows for the existence of both good and evil in the universe.
Throughout the book, Augustine engages with various biblical passages and theological arguments to support his views on predestination. He also addresses various objections to his position and attempts to reconcile predestination with the concepts of free will and divine justice.
"On The Predestination Of The Saints" was written in the early 5th century, during a time of great debate and controversy over the role of predestination in Christian doctrine.
