Augustine


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.

Quem pode duvidar que vive e entende, e que julga? se duvida, vive; se duvida, entende que duvida; se duvida é porque quer ter certeza; se duvida, pensa; se duvida, sabe que não sabe; se duvida, julga que convém não prestar um assentimento temerário. (De Trinitate, livro X)

Tu, que queres conhecer-te a ti mesmo, sabes que existes? - Sei. De onde sabes? - Não sei. Sentes-te como um ser simples ou múltiplo? - Não sei. Sabes que te moves? - Não sei. Sabes que pensas? - Sei. Portanto, é verdade que pensas. - Sim. (Solilóquios, Livro II)

ღატაკი, ეს არის შენი კარი, შენ თავად კი – ღვთის კარების წინ მდგარი ღატაკი. როგორც მოექცევი შენს მთხოვნელს, ისევე მოგექცევა შენც ღმერთი.

In the first dawning of my youth, I begged of Thee chastity, but by halves, miserable wretch that I am; I said, "Give me chastity, but not yet," afraid that Thou tightest hear me too soon, and heal me of the disease which I wished to have satisfied rather than cured.

If a man is drawn, says an objector, he comes against his will. [We answer] If he comes unwillingly, he does not believe: if he does not believe, he does not come. For we do not run to Christ on our feet but by faith; not with the movement of the body, but with the freewill of the heart. Think not that thou art drawn against thy will: the mind can be drawn by love.
