The Encyclopædia Britannica explains that according to the theology of Augustine (354 - 430 C.E.), “the Kingdom of God has already begun in this world with the institution of the church ” and is“ already present in the sacraments of the church. ”
Entsüklopeedia Encyclopædia Britannica selgitab, et vastavalt Augustinuse (354 — 430 m.a.j.) teoloogiale, „seoses kiriku asutamisega on Jumala Kuningriik selles maailmas juba saabunud ” ja see on„ juba olemas kiriku sakramentides ”.
