The idea of the concept of limbo was developed by whom?

  • Saint Augustine

  • Saint Thomas Aquinas

  • Pietro Abelardo

  • Saint Albert the Great

Answer

Pietro Abelardo was a 12th-century philosopher who developed the concept of limbo. He argued that limbo is a place where unbaptized infants go after death. They are not in hell because they have not committed any sins, but they are not in heaven either because they have not been baptized. Abelardo's concept of limbo has been influential in Christian thought, and it is still debated today.
