The Body and Soul
St. Augustine, also called Saint Augustine of
Hippo, original Latin name Aurelius
Augustinus

Manichæn Dualism.
In Christian theology St. Augustine spoke of
the soul as a “rider” on the body, making clear
the split between the material and the
immaterial, with the soul representing the
“true” person. However, although body and
soul were separate, it was not possible to
conceive of a soul without its body.

Free Will and
Predestination
Some men are predestined to exercise their
Will to accept the offer of Grace and others
are predestined to reject it. God, being
omniscient, foresees, but does not determine
who will accept His Grace and who will not.

Will is always inclined to what is Good

Instantanous Foreknowledge

The End of Man
Salvation--those who accept the Grace are by
that acceptance chosen for Salvation –
though perhaps it would be more accurate
to say that by the choice which they (not
God) have made, they are destined for
Salvation.was impossible without the Grace
of God: mired as he was in sin, Man could not
achieve it by his own efforts. Doctor of the
Church
