Marriage and Concupiscence is a theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The book explores the relationship between marriage and sexual desire, or concupiscence, and the role of these concepts in Christian theology.Augustine argues that sexual desire is a result of original sin, and that marriage is a necessary institution for controlling and channeling this desire in a morally acceptable way. He also discusses the theological implications of marriage, including the relationship between husband and wife, the purpose of procreation, and the significance of the sacrament of marriage in Christian theology.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on biblical texts and Christian tradition to support his arguments, and engages with the ideas of other contemporary theologians and philosophers. Marriage and Concupiscence is considered a seminal work in Christian theology and has had a significant influence on the development of Christian thought and practice around marriage and sexuality.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 .
