1673 Saint Augustine of Hippo Letters Grace & Free Will Predestination Latin
Augustine of Hippo was a 5th-century early Christian church philosopher and theologian. While most known for his work 'City of God', he also wrote many other treatises on aspects of the Christian faith. His stance on free will vs predestination and fatalism were supported by and still is supported by, the Catholic Church, as his teachings on free will are consistent with modern doctrine.

This 1673 Latin edition was collected and published by Lambert Marchant who included the following works:
·
Concilium Arausicanum II
·
Saint Prosper's letters to Augustine
o Much of which covers the gothic invasion of Gaul
·
On Grace and Free Will
·
On Rebuke and Grace
·
Gift of Perseverance / Predestination of Saints
·
Various letters
