Explore the enduring debate over faith, works, and grace that has shaped Christian thought and church practice.

This volume surveys how early ideas about merit, free will, and divine grace evolved, tracing the shift from Augustinian to semi-Pelagian positions and showing how these distinctions influenced the Church’s understanding of salvation, obedience, and doctrine.

From the classic tension between trusting in God’s gifts and performing external acts, to the way theologians and councils wrestled with how grace operates in human life, the text illuminates a complex history. It also examines practical matters tied to worship and sacrament, including how the Church’s rites were interpreted and administered across different eras and regions. The discussion remains focused on the ideas and controversies that shaped the Protestant critique of papal authority and Catholic doctrine.

Foundational clashes between Pelagian and Augustinian views on original sin, grace, and merit.
The evolution of “faith without works” and its impact on church teaching and practice.
Historical treatments of the Lord’s Supper, including debates over the Cup and its reception.
Connections between early doctrinal disputes and later Protestant polemics.

Ideal for readers interested in church history, doctrinal development, and the roots of Protestant critiques.
