This book clarified what is out there regarding what Perlagius actually believed and what actually is Pelagianism. It also corrected some false notions regarding the controversy between Pelagius and Augustine. For example, (1) Pelagius preeminently a moralist, which emphasis is practical, attempting to defend his view framed in theological terms, which emphasis is on the theoretical rather than the practical (p.2, vol.2); and (2) although Augustine's teaching on grace and free will was generally accepted by the church, his doctrine of predestination "was rejected by the Council of Orange in 529" (p.6, vol.2).

Another interesting note is that Augustine regarded Pelagius as "a holy man, who, I am told, has made no small progress in the Christian life." Apparently, Pelagius had a "high reputation...acquired in Christian circles", which, Rees stated, did not agree with Jerome's caricature of him (p.2, vol.2).

If anyone seeks a better and more clear understanding of Pelagius/Pelagianism, this book if of importance to read. (
