Divine Providence and the Problem of Evil: A Translation of St. Augustine's De Ordine is a philosophical and theological work by the renowned Christian theologian and philosopher, St. Augustine. The book is a translation of Augustine's De Ordine, which is a treatise on the problem of evil and the role of divine providence in the world. In the book, Augustine explores the question of why evil exists in a world created by a benevolent God, and how divine providence can be reconciled with the existence of suffering and evil. He argues that evil is not a positive reality, but rather a lack of goodness, and that God allows evil to exist in order to bring about a greater good. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the problem of evil and divine providence. Part one provides an introduction to the problem of evil and the concept of divine providence. Part two explores the nature of evil and its relationship to free will. Part three discusses the role of divine providence in the world and how it can be reconciled with the existence of evil. Finally, part four examines the implications of Augustine's ideas for human life and society.Overall, Divine Providence and the Problem of Evil is a profound and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on one of the most enduring questions in philosophy and theology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the problem of evil, the nature of God, and the meaning of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
