This book traces the gradual crystallisation of this teaching, including its unacceptable consequences (such as double predestination, inherited guilt which deserves eternal punishment, and its transmission through libidinous procreation). How did the reader of Cicero and “the books of the Platonists” reach the ideas that appear in his polemic against Julian (and which remind one of Freud rather than the Stoics or Plotinus)? That is the point of departure of this book. It surely cannot be expected that there is a definite answer to the question; rather, the aim is to follow and understand the development.Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;v. 115.Grace (Theology)Biblical teachingGrace (Theology)History of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Free will and determinismReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Grace (Theology)Biblical teaching.Grace (Theology)History of doctrinesFree will and determinismReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrines234/.1Karfikova Lenka478368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822035703321Grace and the will according to Augustine264443UNINA
