According to St. Augustine, how does divine grace interact with human nature to achieve redemption?*1 pointDivine grace is irrelevant to human nature and redemption, which is achieved solely through personal efforts and morality.Redemption is achieved through understanding and adhering to divine laws without the need for divine grace.Divine grace is essential for overcoming human nature’s flaws, such as original sin, and is the primary means to achieve redemption.Human nature is inherently perfect, and divine grace is an additional, non-essential element in achieving redemption.

St. Augustine’s integration of Christian theology and philosophy suggests a view of the self that includes original sin. How does this perspective influence his understanding of self-knowledge and redemption?*1 pointAugustine believes that self-knowledge is unimportant for redemption, which is solely based on external actions and rituals.Augustine views self-knowledge as essential for understanding one's inherent flaws due to original sin and achieving redemption through divine grace.Augustine posits that redemption is unattainable through self-knowledge alone, emphasizing only faith and repentance without self-reflection.Augustine considers self-knowledge as irrelevant to redemption, focusing instead on societal reform and external moral laws.
