Augustine Of Hippo, City Of God Book 11 - Goodness Of Creation And Natural Evil

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The City of God.

It focuses specifically his discussion in book 11 bearing on the problem of evil, namely why, if there is a perfectly good, omniscient, and omnipotent God, evil exists in the world. One way of initially addressing this is to make the distinction between moral evil, which depends upon the wills of creatures, and natural evil, which has to do with the workings of the natural world - workings which we find bad in some sense.
