A. Christian virtue ethic

Explanation:

St. Augustine of Hippo was the first Christian who attempted to create a cohesive moral philosophy compatible with Christian thought. Augustine developed his ethical perspective based on the teachings of Plato. Augustine believed that the human being is a soul, contained by a body which he employs as a means to achieve spiritual ends. He also argued that the highest happiness available to men was that of joining God in Heaven. He also refined the doctrine of the original sin, and thus, of salvation.
