Product Description

•••••

The six major treatises presented in this volume vividly depict Augustine's struggle with theological issues generated by Pelagianism. These treatises include Miscellany of Questions in Response to Simplician I, The Punishment and Forgiveness of Sins and the Baptism of Little Ones, The Spirit and the Letter, Nature and Grace, The Predestination of the Saints, and The Gift of Perseverance. These works are selected from the Answers to the Pelagians I, Answers to the Pelagians IV, and Responses to Miscellaneous Questions.

Among the several controversies that troubled Augustine during his lifetime, Pelagianism was unquestionably the most significant for the future history and theology of the western Church. It addressed a variety of major Christian topics, most notably grace, predestination, original sin, and baptism, all of which might be reduced to the fundamental question of the nature of God's relationship with his human creation.
