Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the development of Christian doctrine, tracing a lineage from Augustine to Calvin. It is a study of the history of western Christian theology and its ideas on the relationship between grace and the human will. The author chose Augustine as the foundational figure because he laid the groundwork for the central Reformation concept of Justification by Faith Alone. Augustine's thought led to the Pelagian and Semi-Pelagian challenges and to the formulation of the Augustinian concept of Original Sin. The author provides a detailed analysis of the positions of Augustine and his opponents, arguing that their debates were over more than just the nature of grace and free will; they were a fundamental struggle over the nature of Christian salvation and the very nature of God. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian doctrine or in the development of ideas about grace and free will.
