To Florus · §2.25

To Florus 2.25

He therefore set this continuous passage from my earlier work before himself in his second book, although with alterations (Augustine, Marriage and Desire 2.44–49). For he passed over, by design I suppose, my mention of the body’s formation and the soul’s arrival. Reason, the authority of sacred law, and the catholic church all establish that a new soul is created by God in each person.
