St. Prosper of Aquitaine: The Call of All Nations
Overview
The first document of the semi-Pelagian controversy, the Defense of St. Augustine examines several mutually connected points of doctrine, all of them centered on the gratuity of grace, the undeserved gift of God.
Top Highlights
“A great and difficult problem has long been debated among the defenders of free will and the advocates of the grace of God.1 The point at issue is whether God wills all men to be saved; and since this cannot be denied,2 the question arises, why the will of the Almighty is not realized.” (Page 26)
“And there are diversities of operations, but the same God who worketh all in all.” (Page 80)
“No one can please God without God.43 But he who does not please God, whom will he please but himself and the devil?” (Page 34)
“it busies itself with earthly and perishable things.” (Page 29)
