About this title

Synopsis

Divine Providence and the Problem of Evil: A Translation of St. Augustine's De Ordine is a book that explores the concept of divine providence and the problem of evil. The book is a translation of St. Augustine's De Ordine, which is a philosophical work that was written in the 4th century AD. In this book, St. Augustine discusses the role of God in the world and how God's providence relates to the existence of evil. He explores the idea that God is all-powerful and all-knowing, and yet evil still exists in the world. St. Augustine also examines the nature of evil and how it relates to free will and human choice. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of divine providence and the problem of evil. St. Augustine uses a combination of philosophical reasoning and theological insights to address these complex issues. Overall, Divine Providence and the Problem of Evil: A Translation of St. Augustine's De Ordine is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on these important topics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the nature of God and the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

Aurelius Augustinus, Augustine of Hippo (November 13, 354-August 28, 430) is a saint and the pre-eminent Doctor of the Church according to Roman Catholicism; he was the eldest son of Saint Monica. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, which does not accept all of his teachings, he is usually called "Blessed Augustine." Many Protestants consider him to be a spiritual ancestor of Protestantism, in the sense that Protestantism's founder Martin Luther was deeply influenced by him (Luther was trained as an Augustinian monk).
