Medieval (Christian) philosophy focuses more on the internal being of the spirit rather than a person’s external actions and belongings. Early Christians paid most of their attentions to Christ’s return, so therefore little thought was given to the future of long-term policies. St. Paul brought ideas from Greek and Roman thought, more directly the idea of natural law. This meant that a person could know ethical precepts straight by the means of reason. Paul believed that non-Jews were worthy of Christianity because their hearts were inscribed with the Jewish scripture. St Augustine was the superior influence on the medieval Christian worldview. After having what some might call a reckless childhood, St. Augustine set out on a search for wisdom. With his own life as a testament, he wondered why there was evil in the human life.
