The Predestination of Humans: Augustinus, Tome III, Book IX

The book delves into Cornelius Jansen's influential work, Augustinus, which reinterprets St. Augustine's teachings on grace and free will, asserting alignment with the Council of Trent and critiquing the Society of Jesus for its focus on human agency. Published posthumously in 1640, it sparked a significant following and an Augustinian reform movement, despite its papal condemnation that hampered scholarly discourse. This translation of key chapters provides a vital resource for historians, philosophers, and theologians to engage with the foundational text of Jansenism.
