The Proceedings Of Pelagius (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161573398)

The Proceedings of Pelagius is a book written by Saint Augustine that documents the theological debate between Pelagius and his followers against Augustine and his followers. Pelagius was a British monk who believed in the idea of free will and the ability of humans to achieve salvation through their own efforts. Augustine, on the other hand, believed in the concept of original sin and the need for divine grace in order to attain salvation.The book is divided into several sections, each of which presents arguments and counterarguments from both sides. Augustine's writing is characterized by his use of scripture and his emphasis on the importance of grace. Pelagius, on the other hand, relies on reason and logic to support his arguments.Throughout the book, Augustine argues that Pelagius' teachings are heretical and that they undermine the central tenets of Christianity. He also accuses Pelagius of denying the existence of original sin and of promoting a form of salvation that is based on human effort rather than divine grace.The Proceedings of Pelagius is an important historical document that sheds light on the theological debates of the early Christian church. It is also a valuable resource for scholars of theology and philosophy who are interested in the ideas of Augustine and Pelagius.THIS 42 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 .
