Pelagius, the first known British author, is famous for his defence
of free will as the Roman Empire disintegrated. A persuasive
advocate of two ideas - that human nature was inclined to goodness,
and that man had free will - Pelagius was excommunicated in 418
after a campaign to vilify him for inventing a new and dangerous
heresy. Setting this accusation of heresy against Pelagius in the
context of recent scholarship, The Myth of Pelagianism proves that
Pelagius did not teach the ideas attributed to him or propose
anything new. In showing that Pelagius defended what was the
mainstream understanding of Christianity, Bonner explores the
notion that rather than being the leader of a separatist group, he
was one of many propagandists for the ascetic movement that swept
through Christianity and generated medieval monasticism.
Ground-breaking in its interdisciplinarity and in its use of
manuscript evidence, The Myth of Pelagianism presents a significant
revision of our understanding of Pelagius and of the formation of
Christian doctrine.
