A collection of works on the Semipelagian controversy, mostly by St. Augustine but also including essays by St. Prosper of Aquitaine and Hilary, Bp. of Arles and head of the Semipelagian party. The Semipelagians believed that salvation could be begun by unaided human will but required grace to accomplish it, the Pelagians that salvation could be achieved solely through human effort; St. Augustine argued that grace was necessary for salvation from beginning to end.
