, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 192 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9782503607399. Summary Faustus was a Gallic representative of what has been referred to as 'semipelagianism'. In his De Gratia, he fiercely opposed the Augustinian view of Grace and Predestination that had been upheld by Lucidus, a presbyter who possibly misunderstood Augustine's thought. Faustus did not open new ground about these contested doctrines, but put significant roadblocks to their possible extreme trajectories. TABLE OF CONTENTS Abbreviations Introduction 1. De gratia 2.
