SynopsisThis volume brings together writings from early and late stages of Augustine's involvement in the Pelagian controversy. On Nature and Grace and On the Proceedings of Pelagius both date from A.D. 415-16 and constitute two of Augustine's most extensive treatments of the actual words of Pelagius. On the Predestination of the Saints and On the Gift of Perserverence were probably written in A.D. 428 near the end of Augustine's life. Taken together, these writings provide an occasion to examine the continuity and development of Augustine's theology of grace. They also afford much insight into the 5th-century status of many theological questions that are alive today, such as the extent of the damage done to human nature by sin, the theology of original sin, the effects of baptism, and the true meaning and scope of God's salvific will.
