Reported characterization of augustine
Against Julian 6.5.11
Augustine reports Julian represented the transmission of forgiven parental guilt to offspring as something Augustine said could ‘neither be comprehended by reason nor explained in speech.’
Latin
Nam quod dimissum est in parente, ut trahatur in prole, miris quidem modis fit, sed tamen fit: et quia modus ipse non facili ratione indagatur, nec sermone explicatur, ab infidelibus non creditur
nec ratione comprehendi, nec sermone explicari
non facili
ratione
sermone
nulla
non facili
