Download or read book Answer to the Pelagians written by Saint Augustine (of Hippo) and published by New City Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine was writing the Unfinished Work in Answer to Julian, published in this volume, when he died in August 430. The Unfinished Work is a rebuttal of Julian of Eclanum's To Florus, an eight-book text in defense of Pelagianism, which had by then been officially condemned by the Church. Augustine and Julian had previously written responses to excerpts of one another's work, though not in direct correspondence. In Unfinished Work, however, Augustine writes as though speaking to Julian directly, making for an engaging and clear read. He quotes each point of To Florus to which he responds, so the reader gains a comprehensive picture of his opponent's views. Once again, Augustine defends grace as a gift from God and Jesus as the savior of all humanity.

Book Synopsis Marriage and Virginity by : Saint Augustine
Download or read book Marriage and Virginity written by Saint Augustine and published by New City Press. This book was released on 1996-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents new translations of five of Augustine’s works: The Excellence of Marriage, Holy Virginity, The Excellence of Widowhood, Adulterous Marriages, and Continence.... The volume is to be commended on several points. The translation itself is in eminently readable, clear English that should be accessible to anyone interested in Augustine.... The general introduction does an excellent job of placing these works in the context of Augustine’s career, showing how Augustine reacts to controversies with the Manichees, Jovinian, Jerome, and the Pelagians, while maintaining a commitment to the threefold goods of marriage — procreation, fidelity, and sacrament. This is a wonderful collection that allows readers to see the complexity of Augustine’s thought on a difficult topic.” Kim Paffenroth Journal of Early Christian Studies
Book Synopsis Saint Augustine's Anti-Pelagian Works by : Philip Schaff
Download or read book Saint Augustine's Anti-Pelagian Works written by Philip Schaff and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where traditional Christianity has always affirmed that sin can only be atoned by the sacrifice of Christ, the theory that the human will is able to earn salvation of its own accord was the basis of Pelagian thought. Augustine in this series of works fought vehemently against such ways of thinking because he wanted to make people realize that Christ is the one and only way to find true salvation.
Book Synopsis Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: First Series, Volume V St. Augustine: Anti-Pelagian Writings by : Philip Schaff
Download or read book Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: First Series, Volume V St. Augustine: Anti-Pelagian Writings written by Philip Schaff and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD marked the beginning of a new era in Christianity. For the first time, doctrines were organized into a single creed. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers did most of their writing during and after this important event in Church history. Unlike the previous era of Christian writing, the Nicene and Post-Nicene era is dominated by a few very important and prolific writers. In Volume V of the 14-volume collected writings of the Nicenes and Post-Nicenes (first published between 1886 and 1889), readers will discover Saint Augustines rebuke of Pelagianism. This doctrine undermined Augustines beliefs because it claimed that original sin did not exist. Since there was no original sin, humans were saved or lost based solely on their own will. This further meant that Jesus, while a great teacher and model human being, did not die to save humanity, negating a large portion of Christian doctrine. Augustine believed that salvation was available only by the grace of God working in conjunction with mans decision to live a good life. Spiritual seekers and students of history will find this work a thorough defense of Catholic theology."
Book Synopsis In Adam's Fall by : Ian A. McFarland
Download or read book In Adam's Fall written by Ian A. McFarland and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-24 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN ADAM’S FALL Few doctrines of Christian teaching are more controversial than original sin. For how is it possible to affirm the universality of sin without losing sight of the distinct ways in which individuals are both responsible for and suffer the consequences of sinful behavior? In considering the Christian doctrine of original sin, McFarland challenges many prevailing views about it. He shows us that traditional Christian convictions regarding humanity’s congenital sinfulness neither undermine the moral accountability of sin’s perpetrators nor dampen concern for its victims. Responding to both historic and contemporary criticism of the doctrine, In Adam’s Fall reveals how the concept of original sin is not only theologically defensible, but stimulating and productive for a life of faith. Drawing on both the classical formulations of Augustine and the Christology of Maximus the Confessor, McFarland proposes a radical reconstruction of the doctrine of original sin – one that not only challenges contemporary Western visions of human autonomy but emphasizes the integrity of each individual called by God to a unique and irreplaceable destiny. Engagingly written and infused with scholarly sophistication, In Adam’s Fall offers refreshingly original insights into the contemporary relevance of a doctrine of Christian teaching that has inspired fierce debate for over 1,500 years.
Book Synopsis The Anti-Pelagian Writings by : St. Augustine of Hippo
Download or read book The Anti-Pelagian Writings written by St. Augustine of Hippo and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both by nature and by grace, Augustin was formed to be the champion of truth in this controversy. Of a naturally philosophical temperament, he saw into the springs of life with a vividness of mental perception to which most men are strangers; and his own experiences in his long life of resistance to, and then of yielding to, the drawings of God’s grace, gave him a clear apprehension of the great evangelic principle that God seeks men, not men God, such as no sophistry could cloud. However much his philosophy or theology might undergo change in other particulars, there was one conviction too deeply imprinted upon his heart ever to fade or alter,—the conviction of the ineffableness of God’s grace. This book comprises St. Augustine’s writings and thoughts regarding the Anti-Pelagian dispute.

It also demonstrates how Augustine's interpretation of Paul was shaped by a persuasive rhetorical milieu. Finally, it shows the history of a critical text (Roman's 7:24-25a) that Augustine employs from first to final writings.
Book Synopsis Augustine's Problem by : Jeffrey F. Nicoll
Download or read book Augustine's Problem written by Jeffrey F. Nicoll and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine's Problem provides a new approach to St. Augustine's life and doctrine, hypothesizing that his problem was not sexual addiction but sexual impotence. For Augustine, the problem with sex was not the seductive nature of women, but the unpredictability of desire, which can induce an unwanted erection or fail to provide one when even the mind would choose to have sex. He extends his personal incapacity to a general impotence of the will--we can never, without grace, choose any good. Just as the impotent man cannot work on his impotence, we cannot work on our salvation; only God can make a difference and predestines a tiny elect. The disobedience of the Garden is transferred to the disobedience of the male member, guaranteeing that the sin of Eden is transferred, in conception, as original sin. The most controversial elements of Augustine's theology are all linked to the theme of impotence, as expressed in his writings, from the Confessions to the anti-Pelagian works written at the end of his life.
Book Synopsis Against Two Letters of the Pelagians by : Saint Augustine
Download or read book Against Two Letters of the Pelagians written by Saint Augustine and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine, the man with upturned eye, with pen in the left hand, and a burning heart in the right (as he is usually represented), is a philosophical and theological genius of the first order, towering like a pyramid above his age, and looking down commandingly upon succeeding centuries. He had a mind uncommonly fertile and deep, bold and soaring; and with it, what is better, a heart full of Christian love and humility. He stands of right by the side of the greatest philosophers of antiquity and of modern times. We meet him alike on the broad highways and the narrow footpaths, on the giddy Alpine heights and in the awful depths of speculation, wherever philosophical thinkers before him or after him have trod. As a theologian he is facile princeps, at least surpassed by no church father, schoolman, or reformer. With royal munificence he scattered ideas in passing, which have set in mighty motion other lands and later times. He combined the creative power of Tertullian with the churchly spirit of Cyprian, the speculative intellect of the Greek church with the practical tact of the Latin. He was a Christian philosopher and a philosophical theologian to the full.

Book Synopsis Strange and Gaudy Fruit by : Jeff Nicoll
Download or read book Strange and Gaudy Fruit written by Jeff Nicoll and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Christianity includes many doctrines adopted (and actions taken) to meet immediate problems but which had unintended consequences; they are bad fruit (Matt 7:15-20). The oldest is antisemitism, which arose from the competition of the early church with early Judaism. It was built into the New Testament and was developed by the church fathers. Having learned to dehumanize, it was easy to apply the same techniques to other groups; the church became complicit with enslavement, misogyny, and other forms of oppression. One response to the bad fruit is to reject religion, in the manner of Christopher Hitchens. However, the dogmas are part of our culture even if in secular form. If the roots of marginalization are not understood, they cannot be eliminated. This work uses a range of critics and defenders of traditional Western Christianity to identify poisonous fruits and detoxify them. The critical voices do not create a consensus. Nevertheless, a core can be perceived, what Erasmus called the "few truths." Grounded in the religious tradition, they can be shared with secular people as a basis for an ethical, merciful, and respectful society. Although the history of Christianity is bloody, there are ways to go forward.
