Against Two Letters Of The Pelagians - Paperback

by Saint Augustin (Author)

""Against Two Letters of the Pelagians"" is a theological treatise written by Saint Augustine in response to two letters written by the Pelagians, a group of Christians who denied the doctrine of original sin and believed in the ability of humans to achieve salvation through their own free will and good works. In this book, Augustine refutes the Pelagian arguments and defends the orthodox Christian belief in the necessity of divine grace for salvation. He argues that humans are born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve, and that only through the grace of God can they be saved. Augustine also emphasizes the importance of the sacraments, particularly baptism, in the Christian life. The book is a significant work in the history of Christian theology, as it helped to solidify the doctrine of original sin and the role of grace in salvation.THIS 68 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 .
