translated and annotated by Dom Mark Pontifex

32. St. Prosper of Aquitaine: Defense of St. Augustine
translated and annotated by P. De Letter, SJ
The first document of the Semi-Pelagian controversy, the Defense involves several mutually connected points of doctrine, all of them centered on the gratuity of grace or on the very idea of grace as an undeserved gift of God.
