This (10[1])thinker quoted Ticonius’s seven rules of interpretation in a work that argued for using signs to properly teach scripture.

The theologian Pelagius was condemned for denying this thinker’s conception of original sin. (-5[1])This author of On Christian Doctrine (10[1])and (10[1])On the Trinity originated the term “just war” in a book (10[1])contrasting (10[2]-5[1])an “earthly” realm with a metaphysical “heavenly” realm.
