Description

The Anti-Pelagian Works by St. Augustine is an essential collection of theological treatises that delve into the core doctrines of Christian grace, original sin, and human nature. This comprehensive volume includes some of Augustine's most significant writings: On Merits and the Forgiveness of Sins, and on Infant Baptism; On the Spirit and the Letter; On Nature and Grace; On Man's Perfection in Righteousness; On the Proceedings of Pelagius; On the Grace of Christ, and on Original Sin; On Marriage and Concupiscence; On the Soul and its Origin; On Rebuke and Grace; Against Two Letters of the Pelagians; On Grace and Free Will; and On the Predestination of the Saints and the Gift of Perseverance.

In these works, Augustine systematically refutes the teachings of Pelagius, emphasizing the necessity of divine grace for salvation and the inherent sinfulness of humanity. His profound arguments laid the groundwork for much of Western Christian thought, particularly regarding the doctrines of original sin and predestination. Augustine's clear and compelling prose guides readers through complex theological debates, providing insight into the early Church's struggles to define orthodox beliefs.

This collection is indispensable for theologians, scholars, and anyone interested in the development of Christian doctrine. Augustine's Anti-Pelagian writings offer a profound understanding of the nature of human will, the importance of grace, and the enduring questions of free will and predestination. Through these texts, readers can engage with the theological legacy of one of Christianity's greatest thinkers, whose influence continues to shape the faith today.
