The works translated here deal with two major themes in the
thinking of St Augustine (354-430): free will and divine grace. On
the one hand, free will enables human beings to make their own
choices; on the other hand, God's grace is required for these
choices to be efficacious. 'On the Free Choice of the Will', 'On
Grace and Free Choice', 'On Reprimand and Grace' and 'On the Gift
of Perseverance' set out Augustine's theory of human
responsibility, and sketch a subtle reconciliation of will and
grace. This volume is the first to bring together Augustine's early
and later writings on these two themes, in a new translation by
Peter King, enabling the reader to see what Augustine regarded as
the crowning achievement of his work. The volume also includes a
clear and accessible introduction that analyzes Augustine's key
philosophical lines of thought.
