This article raises a number of features of Pelagius and Pelagianism, including his emphases in his theology (e.g., his view of free will).
This is a presentation of the main contrasting positions of three major systems: Pelagianism, Semi-Pelagianism (Arminianism), and Calvinism.
Pelagius believed that man has free will and therefore is able to contribute to his salvation. This teaching became known as Pelagianism. The article discusses this false teacher and teaching.
The author discusses the origins of the battle between Augustine's teachings of predestination and grace, and Pelagius's views on the same issues. Pelagianism later developed into semi-Pelagianism, a teaching that has remained to this day.
The article provides a short biographical account of Augustine (354-430). It touches on, among other things, his childhood, parents, schooling, and training, till his conversion. Some of the confrontations he made in his search for truth and in his teachings include those with Manichaeism, Pelagianism, and Donatism.
The author provides a preview of the Pelagian controversy from early church history, which involved Augustine and Pelagius (a later development of Pelagianism became known as semi-Pelagianism). The controversy in question centres around the nature of the fall of man, saving grace, and the will of man.
