The Julian mentioned in the title is Julian of Eclanum who was born
at Eclanum in Italy in 380 and died in Sicily ca. 455. After the
death of his wife, Julian joined the clergy of his native diocese
and eventually succeeded his father as bishop. With a mastery of
Greek and Latin Julian combined a great store of theological
learning which, however, was tainted with Pelagian errors. Because
of his support of Pelagius Julian himself was condemned, deposed
and expelled from Italy. In his authentic work, four books to
Turbantius, three letters, and eight books to Florus, Julian's
heterodox teachings reduced grace to a simple, protective, divine
assistance and practically denied that the taint of Adam's sin
passed on to the human race. In Against Julian Augustine stresses
in the first two books the traditional teachings of the Church
found in the Fathers and contrasts their teaching with the
rationalism of the Pelagians. Thereupon he refutes the error of the
Pelagians that grace is given according to merits. To refute the
Pelagian error concerning concupiscence Augustine explains the
Pauline teaching "that each one may know how to possess his
vessel." In the concluding book we find a detailed explanation of
the practice of infant baptism. This section is a valuable witness
to the ritual of baptism as it was conferred in the age of the
Fathers.
