This review is from: Answer to the Pelagians (I/24) (Works of Saint Augustine) (Answer to Julian) (Hardcover)

This is a translation of Augustine's "Marriage and Desire," "Answer to the Two Letters of the Pelagians," and his famous "Answer to Julian." The book is worth the price for the "Answer to Julian" alone. This is Augustine at his anti-Pelagian best around the year 420 A.D. His positions towards Pelagianism are beginning to harden, but he has not yet reached the still harder position he adopts in his "Opus Imperfectum to Julian" that is also published by New City Press in this series.
