Augustin is the father of the Christian church in North Africa. He was strongly influenced by Platonism. Augustin has developed many accounts of the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love. Augustin’s Enchridion is about how evil cannot exist without good. Although good can exist without evil. We value the good more than the bad. God, the creator of all things, created everything to be good. Which means even if something is evil or bad there are still good. The only reason why something cannot be good is because God didn’t create things to be perfectly good so there could be death involved. An example that is used in the story is that animals get diseases and wounds which are namely evil but they mean nothing but the absence of health.
