		Yet the Christological and anthropologico-soteriological controversies are vitally connected, since Christ became man for the redemption of man. The person and the work of the Redeemer presuppose on the one hand man’s capability of redemption, and on the other his need of redemption.
		It embraces the whole cycle of doctrine respecting the ethical and religious relation of man to God, and includes, therefore, the doctrines of human freedom, of the primitive state, of the fall, of regeneration and conversion, of the eternal purpose of redemption, and of the nature and operation of the grace of God.
		The Pelagian controversy was conducted with as great an expenditure of mental energy, and as much of moral and religious earnestness, but with less passion and fewer intrigues, than the Trinitarian and Christological conflicts in the East.

		This speedy and universal repudiation of Pelagianism proves that while the views of the early Fathers upon this class of questions were very imperfect, nevertheless the system taught by Augustine must have been in all essentials the same with the faith of the Church as a whole from the beginning.
		The controversies then revived were perpetuated for many ages, the Dominicans and the Thomists in general advocating unconditional election and efficacious grace, and the Franciscans and the Scotists in general advocating conditional election and the inalienable power of the human will to cooperate with or to resist divine grace.
		Very soon however the controversy took a much wider range, and the Armenians were forced by logical consistency to teach radically erroneous views with respect to the nature of; sin, original sin, imputation, the nature of the Atonement and Justification by faith.

	Pelagian Origins
		Pelagianism was a nova ex veteri haeresis (Evans, Pelagius: Inquiries and Reappraisals, 17).
		What strikes the modern reader in the Pelagian writings are the extreme positions: we see Pelagianism, therefore, in terms of its radical emphasis on the independence of the individual, for instance, or on the equity of God's law; or in its extreme views on the redistribution of wealth.
		Pelagianism appealed to the Roman Christian aristocracy and to the laity in the church (as distinct from the clergy).

	"A Comparison of Systems" by A.A. Hodge
		The contrasted positions of the Augustinian and Pelagian systems were first taught out and defined through the controversies maintained by the eminent men whose name they bear, during the first third of the fifth century.
		The controversies then revived were perpetuated for many ages, the Dominicans and the Thomists in general advocating unconditional election and efficacious grace, and the Franciscans and the Scotists in general advocating conditional election and the inalienable power of the human will to cooperate with or to resist divine grace.
		Very soon however the controversy took a much wider range, and the Armenians were forced by logical consistency to teach radically erroneous views with respect to the nature of: sin, original sin, imputation, the nature of the Atonement, and Justification by faith.

		Disconcerting for him - and I was struck by how many people who took the test remarked that, unlike my own, they had results revealing themselves to be hippies of one kind or another.
		Pelagians didn't just believe people were 'basically good'; they believed in Original Innocence and that the perfectibility of the human condition was possible.
		In practice, 'hippy' isn't at all an appropriate description of their attitude to life for they were ascetic and by all accounts fairly unsympathetic and humourless people.

		He reigned during the Nestorian and Pelagian controversies, and it was probably owing to his conciliatory disposition that he was falsely accused of leanings towards these heresies.
		As pope he approved the Acts of the Council of Ephesus and endeavoured to restore peace between Cyril of Alexandria and John of Antioch.
		In the Pelagian controversy he frustrated the attempt of Julian of Eclanum to be readmitted to communion with the Catholic Church.

		Genetically speaking, Pelagianism was the daughter of legalism; but when it itself conceived, it brought forth an essential deism.
		To the Pelagian, Adam was a man, nothing more; and it was simply unthinkable that any act of his that left his own subsequent acts uncommitted, could entail sin and guilt upon other men.
		The most important fruit of his residence in Rome was the conversion to his views of the Advocate Coelestius, who brought the courage of youth and the argumentative training of a lawyer to the propagation of the new teaching.

		His history, from the time of his elevation to the see of Hippo, is so closely implicated with the Donatistic and Pelagian controversies, that it would be impracticable to pursue its details within our prescribed limits.
		The only faults of which he can be accused are an occasional excess of severity in his controversial writings, and a ready acquiescence in the persecution of the Donatists.
		His intellect was in a very high degree vigorous, acute, and comprehensive ; and he possessed to the last a fund of ingenuous sensibility, which gives an indescribable charm to most of his compositions.

	Controversies of Anthropology
		While Eastern bishops in the synod at Ephesus in 431 pronounced against Pelagianism, their decision was more or less influenced by extraneous motives, and was not based upon any thorough investigation of the Pelagian system, or upon any profound aversion to the same.
		The more essential features of his doctrinal system were a denial of inherited corruption in the moral nature of man, a strong assertion of the freedom of the will, and a decided emphasis upon man's ability to work out his own salvation as opposed to his radical dependence upon divine grace.
		The positive beginning of the Pelagian controversy may be located about the year 412, when Clestius, a prominent disciple of Pelagius, was excommunicated by a Carthaginian synod.

	Introductory Essay on Augustin and the Pelagian Controversy
		Augustin was immersed in abundant labours when they reached him: but he could not resist this appeal, and that the less as the Pelagian controversy had already grown to a place of the first importance in his eyes.
		He tracks out all their subterfuges,-showing the absurdity of the assertions that infants are baptized for the remission of sins that they have themselves committed since birth (22), or in order to obtain a higher stage of salvation (23-28), or because of sin committed in some previous state of existence (31-33).
		The Pelagians had early argued, that, if souls are created anew for men at their birth, it would be unjust in God to impute Adam’s sin to them.

		From eternity past through time into eternity future, the timeless God is in control and ordering all things according to His eternal purpose in Jesus Christ with respect to the two cities: the city of God (the elect) and the city of man (the reprobate).
		Fifth, Augustine’s doctrine of grace was developed further and sharpened in his battles with the Pelagians and the Semi-Pelagians (as they later were called).
		The Pelagian conception of Christ merely as our example led Augustine to emphasize that Christ, who is both God and man, is our Mediator who was sacrificed for our sins, without, however, denying that Christians must imitate Christ.

		This period is covered by the Monarchian, Arian, and Macedonian controversies of the third and fourth centuries.
		As in the logical system theology is succeeded by Anthropology, so in the history of dogma the controversies I have named are followed in the beginning of the fifth century by the Augustinian and Pelagian controversies, in which.
		From the time of Augustine’s death we see the Church entering on that long and distracting series of controversies known as Christological-- Nestorian, Eutychian, Monophysite, Monothelite--which kept it in continual ferment, and rent it with the most unchristlike passions during the fifth and sixth, on even till near the end of the seventh, centuries.

	Original Sin
		In response to Protestant accusations ("Pelagianism") and errors (original sin remains even after Baptism, though it is not "imputed"), the Council of Trent summed up the traditional teaching on original sin, without deciding the questions discussed among the different theological schools [cf.
		Canon 3 [DS 1513] Original sin is "one in origin" yet "in each and proper to each." This is especially against Albert Pighi (1490-1542) who held that original sin is numerically one in all and not proper to each.
		Original sin is transmitted by propagatione and not by imitation; this is a rejection of the Pelagian view, without deciding whether natural generation is the cause, or rather only the necessary condition (as most theologians today believe) of original sin.

		There are no accounts of the controversies from an objective historian, and little commentary exists from friendly or neutral sources.
		As with all of Pelagius's writings, the textual history of the Letter to Demetrias is complicated by his condemnation as a heretic.
		They were alarmed to hear of the "Pelagian controversy," especially Augustine's teaching on election and predestination, which they believed to be "contrary to the opinion of the Fathers and the common view of the Church."[28] They saw the Augustinian theological system as a threat to grace as synergy, as a partnership between God and man.
