The turbulence of the Roman Empire made people of all classes uneasy.Facing the "mystery of evil",Augustine began to think about exploring the source of evil.Augustine's thought of original sin has played an important role in reshaping the western theory of human nature.Under the background of augustine's times,people are in urgent need of such an idea.No matter in psychology or in reality,Augustine's theory of original sin accords with the characteristics of The Times at that time.The issue of free will has always been the focus of theological and philosophical debates,and Augustine's views on free will have provided ideas for later western thinkers to understand the issue of free will.Augustine's theory of original sin holds that man naturally fell because Adam and Eve violated god's commandments,and that man was infected with original sin from birth.For the individual,sin is a natural sin that is inevitable and must be faced.People in sin can only be redeemed by the grace of God.In the sense of faith,people can only get the chance of salvation by using free will to choose faith,which means they seek refuge from God.Penitence is the first step of faith,the work of man,and salvation is the work of God,which we,as creatures,cannot discern.This article with sin,death,salvation and eternal life for architecture,the core is about sin and redemption from augustine,the influencing factors on formation of original thought,step by step analysis of carding augustine content of original thought,finally in the augustine original ideas on the theology of carding effect,arguments,and at the same time to create their own opinions.Should future generations bear the consequences of a father's crime? This is not only a question That Augustine must answer,but also a controversial one.While sorting out Augustine's thought system of original sin,this paper also makes a comparison between Augustine's view of original sin and the contradictory views in scripture.Based on this,this paper develops its own understanding and analysis,which is also the innovation of this paper.
