On the Predestination of Saints
Book •
"On the Predestination of Saints" is a treatise by Augustine of Hippo addressing the doctrines of grace, predestination, and free will.
Written in response to the Pelagian controversy, Augustine defends the necessity of God's grace for salvation and argues that human beings are incapable of turning to God on their own.
He explores the concept of predestination, asserting that God has chosen some for salvation, not based on their merits, but according to His own will.
Augustine grapples with the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, seeking to uphold both God's justice and His mercy.
The work has profoundly shaped Western Christian thought on salvation and divine grace.
