Divine Providence And The Problem Of Evil: A Translation Of St. Augustine's De Ordine

Divine Providence and the Problem of Evil: A Translation of St. Augustine's De Ordine is a book written by St. Augustine, one of the most influential Christian theologians in history. This book is a translation of De Ordine, one of Augustine's lesser-known works, in which he explores the problem of evil and the role of divine providence in the world. The book is divided into three parts, each of which tackles a different aspect of the problem of evil. In the first part, Augustine examines the nature of evil and its relationship to God. In the second part, he explores the idea of divine providence and how it relates to human suffering. Finally, in the third part, Augustine offers a resolution to the problem of evil, arguing that God's providence is ultimately good and that all evil is a result of human free will. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Christian theology, philosophy, or the problem of evil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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).
