early 5 th centuries, created a very interesting
perspective on the notion of evil. Augustine first

Dualists, were of equal power. Augustine later
rejected this idea and developed his own theory on
the nature of evil. Saint Augustine's view
concerning evil is...

It is sometimes hard for people to imagine that
their parents were once their age and went through
the same experiences that we did. Although people
often learn best through trial and error, the
