Selected Writings on Grace and Pelagianism (Paperback)

Of the different controversies that preoccupied Augustine during
his lifetime, Pelagianism was indisputably the most important for
the subsequent history and theology of the western Church. It
touched on any number of issues central to Christianity, most
notably grace, predestination, original sin and baptism, all of
which in turn could be reduced to the fundamental question of the
exact nature of the relationship between God and his human
creation. The six major treatises presented in this volume amply
illustrate Augustine's struggle with the theological problems that
Pelagianism raised. They begin with the Miscellany of Questions in
Response to Simplician. Although written in 396, before Pelagianism
even appeared on the scene, this work shows in a few pages the
remarkable evolution of Augustine's thought on the matter of grace
and the position at which he arrived and to which he clung for the
rest of his life. The two final treatises, The Predestination of
the Saints and The Gift of Perseverance, written in 428/429 shortly
before Augustine's death, indicate where the position that he had
elaborated more than thirty years before was fatefully destined to
take him. The three middle treatises show Augustine in the process
of refining - but not altering - his thinking in the face of what
he rightly saw as Pelagianism's terrible threat to orthodox
Christianity's central tenets.
