The use of Augustine by Latomus - and Luther
Like Luther, Latomus clearly regarded Augustine's thought as fundamental.

Summary: | Like Luther, Latomus clearly regarded Augustine's thought as fundamental. The question is thus whether such a common reference from two disagreeing theologians is legitimate, and why Augustine then must be said to be a two-headed dragon. To flesh out the differences and similarities between Latomus and Augustine, Vind compares their views of indifferent works, of sin and of virtues - especially the virtue of love. In conclusion, Vind points to ambivalence in the concept of sin and evil desire in Augustine, which might reveal an ambiguity in Augustine's theology as a whole. Perhaps this ambiguity makes opposing theological conclusions possible: the ones of Latomus as well as the ones of Luther. |
