{"product_id":"marriage-and-concupiscence-saint-augustin-9781162897325","title":"Marriage And Concupiscence","description":"Marriage and Concupiscence is a theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. The book explores the nature of human desire, particularly as it relates to marriage and sexuality. Augustine argues that human beings are inherently flawed and prone to sin, and that sexual desire is one of the most powerful and dangerous of these sinful tendencies. He contends that marriage is a necessary institution for regulating and controlling these desires, but that even within the context of marriage, sexual desire must be kept in check in order to avoid sin. Augustine's writing is deeply rooted in his Christian faith, and he draws extensively on scripture and theological tradition to support his arguments. Despite its ancient origins, Marriage and Concupiscence remains a relevant and thought-provoking work that continues to influence Christian thinking about marriage and sexuality to this day.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5, by Saint Augustin .
