Publisher's Synopsis
The Grace of Christ and Original Sin is a theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most prominent figures in Christian history. The book explores the concept of original sin, the belief that all humans are born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Augustine argues that this sin has corrupted human nature and made it impossible for humans to achieve salvation on their own.However, Augustine also emphasizes the importance of God's grace in overcoming original sin and achieving salvation. He argues that God's grace is freely given and cannot be earned through good works or personal merit. Instead, it is a gift that must be received through faith and repentance.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on biblical passages and theological concepts to support his arguments. He also addresses common objections to the idea of original sin and offers practical advice for living a life of faith and obedience to God.Overall, The Grace of Christ and Original Sin is a deeply philosophical and theological work that explores one of the most fundamental concepts in Christian theology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the nature of sin, grace, and salvation.THIS 50 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 .
