“Mas era necesario que el Mediador entre Dios y los hombres tuviese algo de común con Dios y algo de común con los hombres, no fuese que, siendo semejante en ambos extremos a los hombres, estuviese alejado de Dios; o, siendo semejante en ambos extremos a Dios, estuviese alejado de los hombres, y así no pudiera ser mediador.”

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
