St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162628875)

St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5 is a book written by Saint Augustin. This book is a collection of writings that were written in response to the heresy of Pelagianism. Pelagianism was a theological belief that denied the concept of original sin and claimed that humans could achieve salvation through their own efforts. St. Augustin was a prominent theologian who opposed this belief and wrote extensively on the subject.The book includes a series of essays and letters written by St. Augustin, which provide a comprehensive analysis of the Pelagian heresy. The writings are organized into different sections, each of which deals with a specific aspect of the Pelagian controversy. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of sin, the role of grace in salvation, and the relationship between free will and divine predestination.St. Augustin's arguments are based on his deep understanding of the Scriptures and his knowledge of the early Christian tradition. His writings are characterized by their clarity, depth, and logical rigor. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology and the development of Christian doctrine.Overall, St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5 is a valuable contribution to the study of Christian theology. It provides a clear and compelling defense of the orthodox Christian doctrine of salvation and offers a powerful critique of the Pelagian heresy.1887. Volume 5 of a 14 volume set.
