In Book VI of City of God, St. Augustine comments on Varro's Antiquities in which Varro divided theology into mythical
(fabulous), natural, and civil. This led St. Augustine to collapse these three into two, natural and civil, and to add a third,
supernatural, category of theology. The unfortunate consequence of this distinction was to relegate revelation to a supernatu-
ral, irrational place that reason cannot enter.
