Excerpt from Outline of the Doctrinal Development of the Western Church: Based on the Dogmengeschichte of Friedrich Loofs
The student of Augustine will need to recall definitelv the the ology already to he found in the Church. Back of him were the developed conceptions of Irenaeus and Tertullian; of Hippolytus and Novatian of Origen and Cyprian of Basil and the two (iregories; of Athanasius and Ambrose. And back of him stood the credal decision of the Council of Nicea, and the condemnation of Arian views: together with the Council of Constantinople in 381 A. Which not only reaffirmed the former definition, but formally condemned the christological errors of the semi-arians, the Sabelli ans, and the holders of the view of Apollinarius.
II. Augustine's General Relation to the Later History of the Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the development of Christian doctrine, tracing a lineage from Augustine to Calvin. It is a study of the history of western Christian theology and its ideas on the relationship between grace and the human will. The author chose Augustine as the foundational figure because he laid the groundwork for the central Reformation concept of Justification by Faith Alone. Augustine's thought led to the Pelagian and Semi-Pelagian challenges and to the formulation of the Augustinian concept of Original Sin. The author provides a detailed analysis of the positions of Augustine and his opponents, arguing that their debates were over more than just the nature of grace and free will; they were a fundamental struggle over the nature of Christian salvation and the very nature of God. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian doctrine or in the development of ideas about grace and free will.
