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
Synopsis
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.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas who want a clear, evidence-based critique and a path toward a revised view.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical ideas of Augustine, an influential theologian and philosopher of antiquity, on the perplexing problem of evil. The author meticulously examines Augustine's writings to dissect his intricate conception of the relationship between God, the source of all existence, and the origins of evil. By analyzing Augustine's exploration of the nature of evil as a deficiency or negation rather than a substantial entity, the book sheds light on the evolution of Augustine's ideas over time. The author skillfully situates Augustine's ideas within the context of significant historical debates and philosophical controversies, particularly his vehement opposition to the Manichean doctrine of evil as a co-eternal entity alongside God. This book offers profound insights into Augustine's complex and nuanced understanding of evil, a subject that has intrigued philosophers and theologians throughout history.
