Publisher's Synopsis
Grace and Free Will is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential Christian thinkers in history. The book explores the relationship between God's grace and human free will, and seeks to reconcile the apparent tension between these two concepts.Augustine argues that human beings are inherently sinful and incapable of achieving salvation without the intervention of divine grace. At the same time, he maintains that individuals have the ability to choose between good and evil, and that their choices have moral consequences.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on scripture, philosophy, and his own personal experience to support his arguments. He addresses common objections to his views and offers a detailed analysis of the nature of sin, salvation, and the role of the human will in the Christian life.Grace and Free Will is a complex and challenging work that has been studied and debated by scholars and theologians for centuries. It remains a significant contribution to the Christian tradition and a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the relationship between God and humanity.THIS 38 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 .
