Of the different controversies
that preoccupied Augustine during his lifetime, Pelagianism was indisputably
the most important for the subsequent history and theology of the western
Church. It touched on any number of issues central to Christianity, most notably
grace, predestination, original sin and baptism, all of which in turn could
be reduced to the fundamental question of the exact nature of the relationship
between God and his human creation.
The six major treatises presented in this volume amply illustrate Augustine's
struggle with the theological problems that Pelagianism raised. They begin
with the Miscellany of Questions in Response to Simplician. Although written
in 396, before Pelagianism even appeared on the scene, this work shows in
a few pages the remarkable evolution of Augustine's thought on the matter
of grace and the position at which he arrived and to which he clung for the
rest of his life. The two final treatises, The Predestination of the Saints
and The Gift of Perseverance, written in 428/429 shortly before Augustine's
death, indicate where the position that he had elaborated more than thirty
years before was fatefully destined to take him. The three middle treatises
show Augustine in the process of refining — but not altering —
his thinking in the face of what he rightly saw as Pelagianism's terrible
threat to orthodox Christianity's central tenets.
