Saint, Bishop of Hippo Augustine

On the Good of Marriage is a treatise by Saint Augustine of Hippo, completed around 401 AD, addressing the heresy of Jovinian, which suggested that virginity was superior to marriage. Augustine argues for the value of marriage, emphasizing three key aspects: faithfulness, offspring, and the sacramental nature of the union. This work serves to affirm the goodness of marriage in the face of contemporary debates about its significance compared to celibacy and virginity, making it a notable contribution to Christian theology and ethics.
