Augustine identified reason and authority as complementary ways of
learning the truth, and he employed both to explore such perennial
questions as the rationality of faith, the nature of the good life,
the problem of evil, and the relation of God and the soul. Eight
writings of Augustine represent his application of these two
methods to these four topics: On the True Religion, On the Nature
of Good, On Free Choice of the Will, On the Teacher, On the
Usefulness of Believing, On the Good of Marriage, Enchiridion, and
Confessions. In Reason, Authority, and the Healing of Desire in the
Writings of Augustine, Mark Boone explains Augustine's theology of
desire in this cross-section of his works. Throughout his writings
and in many ways, Augustine develops a Platonically informed, yet
distinctively Christian account of desire. Human desire should
respond to the goodness inherent in things, loving the greatest
good above all and great goods more than lesser goods. Above all,
we should love God and souls. Sin, an inappropriate desire for
lesser goods, is healed by the redemption of Christ.
