Saint Augustine wrote the Confessions between 397
and 400
In the Confessions (between 397 and 400), Book XVIII, Saint
Augustine develops ideas about
in Chapter XVIII entitled “That the righteous may compare themselves to
stars; and of the difference of the gifts of God.”
According to St. Augustine, justice is superior to the
world, it comes from God:
“justice looks down on us from heaven.”
St. Augustine shows how God intercedes for righteous men
:
“Thus you fulfill the wishes of the righteous” by allowing through the
The Scriptures to“know the difference between the intelligible and the sensible
intelligible things and the sensible, as between day and night, or between
between souls”
