""Select Anti-Pelagian Treatises of St. Augustine and the Acts of the Second Council of Orange"" is a book that features a collection of writings from St. Augustine, a prominent theologian and bishop of the early Christian church. The book focuses on Augustine's arguments against the teachings of Pelagius, a British monk who believed in the importance of human free will and the ability of humans to achieve salvation through their own efforts. Augustine, on the other hand, believed in the doctrine of original sin and the need for divine grace to achieve salvation. The book includes several of Augustine's treatises on the subject, as well as the Acts of the Second Council of Orange, which was held in 529 AD and condemned the teachings of Pelagius. Overall, ""Select Anti-Pelagian Treatises of St. Augustine and the Acts of the Second Council of Orange"" provides a valuable insight into the theological debates of the early Christian church and the development of Christian doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
