Publisher's Synopsis
The Proceedings of Pelagius is a book written by Saint Augustine, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the 4th and 5th centuries. The book is a detailed account of the proceedings of the Council of Carthage, which was held in 418 AD to address the teachings of Pelagius, a British monk who had gained a following for his views on free will and grace.Saint Augustine was a key figure in the council, and his writings on the subject of original sin and the nature of grace were instrumental in shaping the outcome of the proceedings. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the arguments put forth by both sides, as well as the final decision of the council to condemn Pelagius and his teachings as heretical.The Proceedings of Pelagius is an important historical document for scholars of early Christian theology and philosophy, as it provides insight into the debates and controversies that shaped the development of Christian doctrine in the early centuries of the faith. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of the church in shaping religious beliefs and practices.THIS 42 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 .
