The Christian Conversation

This treatise explicates the profound differences between Augustine and Pelagius regarding the nature of divine grace, original sin, and human free will, emphasizing that Pelagius disingenuously minimizes the necessity of God's grace in human salvation.

Augustine critiques Pelagius for his erroneous teachings on the innate purity of human nature at birth, the denial of original sin, and the belief that human effort alone can attain righteousness, thus threatening the core doctrines of Christianity.

Augustine underscores the importance of divine assistance for all human actions, highlighting that genuine salvation and holiness are solely the work of God's grace, without which human effort is powerless.
