Grace And Free Will (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161567984)

Grace and Free Will is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most prominent and influential figures in the history of Christianity. The book explores the relationship between grace, which is the divine assistance given to humans to help them achieve salvation, and free will, which is the ability of humans to make choices and act freely. Augustine argues that both grace and free will are necessary for salvation, but that grace is ultimately the more important factor because it enables humans to overcome their sinful nature and choose the path of righteousness. He also discusses the concept of predestination, which is the idea that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned, and argues that it is not incompatible with free will or the need for grace. Throughout the book, Augustine draws on biblical passages and philosophical arguments to support his ideas, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in theology or the history of Christian thought.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5, by Saint Augustin .
