The Theodicies of Augustine and Boethius

The basic belief for Christianity is God's perfect good. God can not do evil, all his actions are completely pure. But this principle raises many questions about obvious pain and cheating spreading around the world. Where does evil come from? Furthermore, how can evil exist when the only eternal entity is perfect, innocent, and ultimately a good god? This problem is related to God's sovereign rationale and leads to more difficult problems including human responsibility and free will.

Augustine Theology, named after the theologians, philosophers, and the Hippocampus St. Augustine in the 4th and 5 th centuries (according to some Christian sects) a Christian economy aimed at answering evidence of evil It is learning. Therefore, it tries to use the evil evidence of the world to explain the possibility of Almighty (Almighty) God and Almighty (all good) God. Many variations of this theology were proposed in history; their similarity was first explained by a 20th century philosopher John Hick who classified them as "Augustin". They normally argued that God was totally (ideally) kind and he created the world from nothing; and this evil is the result of human ingenuous sins. Evil entering the world is often interpreted as punishment for sin and lasts for human will abuse of free will

Hippo Augustine is the first person who developed mysticism. He refuses the idea that the evil itself exists, but regards it as a good corruption caused by human free will. Augustine believed that there was material hell as a punishment for sin, but he believed that those who chose to receive the salvation of Jesus Christ would go to heaven. In the thirteenth century, influenced by Augustine, Thomas Aquinas proposed similar theology based on the fact that God is kind and evil. He believes that the existence of good will enable evil through human error. Augustine also influenced John Calvin, who supported Augustine's view that evil is the result of free will and that sin destroys human nature and requires God's grace to give moral guidance Gave.
