Augustinianism

Augustinianism is a theological philosophy based on the teachings of St. Augustine, a prominent early Christian thinker. It emphasizes the importance of divine grace in achieving salvation, asserting that humans are inherently fallen and unable to choose good without God's intervention. Augustine also explored the nature of original sin, human free will, and the relationship between faith and reason. His ideas have significantly influenced Western Christianity, particularly in Catholicism and Protestantism, shaping beliefs about sin, redemption, and the nature of God’s grace in human life.
