Synopsis
""Against Two Letters of the Pelagians"" is a book written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential Christian theologians of the early Church. The book is a response to two letters written by the Pelagians, a group of Christians who believed in the doctrine of free will and rejected the idea of original sin. Augustine argues against the Pelagian belief that humans have the innate ability to choose good over evil, and instead asserts that humans are inherently sinful and can only be saved through the grace of God. He also refutes the Pelagian belief that humans can achieve salvation through their own efforts, arguing that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned. The book is a powerful defense of the Christian doctrine of original sin and the necessity of divine grace for salvation. It is an important work in the history of Christian theology and remains relevant to contemporary debates about free will, sin, and 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 .
