description: The Grace of Christ and Original Sin is a theological treatise written by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the early church. The book explores the concept of original sin, the belief that all humans are born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Augustine argues that this sin has infected all aspects of human nature, including the will, intellect, and emotions, making it impossible for humans to save themselves from damnation without the help of divine grace.The book also delves into the nature of grace, which Augustine defines as the unmerited favor of God that enables humans to overcome their sinful nature and achieve salvation. He argues that grace is not something that humans can earn or deserve but is freely given by God as a gift to those who believe in Christ.Throughout the book, Augustine draws on biblical passages and theological concepts to support his arguments, providing a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the relationship between original sin and divine grace. The Grace of Christ and Original Sin remains a significant work in Christian theology, shaping the beliefs and practices of the church for centuries to come.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5, by Saint Augustin .
