Years: 411 - 411
July
Augustine, who is now the leading figure in the North African church, opposes Pelagius’ teachings, condemning the doctrine as soon as Pelagius and his followers bring it from Rome to North Africa.
Augustine argues that no one can control his or her own motivation and that a person requires the assistance of God's grace if he or she is to will and to do good; an individual may overcome the force of sin and live rightly before God only by divine grace.
