What can you tell me about Pelagianism?

7:57:16 PM (assistant)

Pelagianism Overview

Pelagianism is a Christian theological heresy originating in the early 5th century, named after the British monk Pelagius (c. 354-420). It emphasizes human free will and denies the doctrine of original sin, teaching that humans can achieve moral perfection and salvation through their own efforts without needing divine grace. Key tenets include:

  • Denial of Original Sin: Pelagius argued that Adam's sin affected only himself, not his descendants; humans are born innocent and capable of choosing good or evil without inherited corruption.
  • Free Will and Grace: Grace is seen as external aid (e.g., God's law or Christ's example), not an internal necessity for salvation. Pelagius believed people could live sinlessly by willpower alone.
  • Opposition and Condemnation: Strongly opposed by Augustine of Hippo, who emphasized total human depravity and the absolute need for God's unmerited grace. Pelagianism was condemned as heresy at councils like Carthage (418) and Ephesus (431).
  • Variations and Legacy: Semi-Pelagianism emerged as a moderated view, acknowledging some need for grace but still prioritizing human initiative. In Lutheran theology, Pelagianism is rejected for undermining justification by faith alone, often linked to debates on predestination and human merit.

This view contrasts with orthodox Christian teachings on inherited sin and grace, influencing ongoing debates in Western Christianity.

Note: This summary draws from historical theological sources in the database. For broader context, consider consulting primary texts like Augustine's anti-Pelagian writings.
