„Exista o carte de-a mea care se numeste De magistro. Chiar el (fiul meu Adeodat) e cel care sta cu mine de vorba acolo. Tu stii bine ca toate cele puse in gura interlocutorului meu de el au fost gandite, pe vremea cand avea saisprezece ani. Am fost, de altfel, martor la alte lucruri, mai uimitoare inca. Mintea lui ma speria. Dar cine, in afara de Tine, poate savarsi astfel de minuni? L-ai luat curand de pe pamant, iar acum ma gandesc mai impacat la el, fara sa ma mai tem nici pentru copilaria, si nici pentru tineretea sau barbatia lui...“
Augustin
traducere de Mihai Radulescu si Constantin Noica
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.
