St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5 is a book written by Saint Augustin, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the 4th and 5th centuries. The book is part of a larger series called the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, which is a collection of writings from the early Christian Church.This particular volume focuses on St. Augustin's writings against the heresy of Pelagianism, a belief system that denied the doctrine of original sin and claimed that humans could achieve salvation through their own efforts. St. Augustin vigorously opposed this view and argued that salvation was only possible through the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.The book includes several of St. Augustin's most important works on the subject, including On the Grace of Christ, On the Predestination of the Saints, and On the Gift of Perseverance. These writings offer a rich and detailed exploration of St. Augustin's theological views, as well as his deep commitment to the Christian faith.Overall, St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5 is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology and the development of Christian doctrine. It offers a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most important figures in the early Christian Church, and provides a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith.1887.
