St. Augustine's role in the Pelagian controversy, wherein a popular theologian issued beliefs contrary to those of the Catholic order, is explained within.Pelagius was a popular figure in Rome and wider Christendom; thought to have hailed from the British Isles, his multilingualism, learned stature and obvious ascetic leanings made him a well-recognized and appreciated Christian. Years of preaching in Rome in the 4th and 5th centuries affected Pelagius' views; in particular, he felt that those who pled their very humanity was the reason for their sins and wrongdoing were abominable.In his writings, little of which survive to the modern day, Pelagius offers an alternative theology based on readings of the New Testament. The Augustinian notion of original sin - that sin is inherited to all humanity since the fall of Adam and Eve - is rejected by Pelagius, who felt that individual humans have the capacity to shape their own spiritual destiny through both piety and moral living.

Benjamin Warfield chronicles and explains the false and discredited miracles performed since the Middle Ages, and puts forth cessationism as an explanation for the miracles described in the Bible.A committed believer in the power of Christ, Benjamin Warfield strongly disagreed with aspects of modern Christianity on the nature and credibility of miracles. Familiar with a vast array of examples from over the past thousand years, Warfield shows how many miracles were exposed as falsehoods. The rejection of miracles is, for the author, part of his Protestant identity: the Catholic notion that miracles may still occur, is falsehood and superstition.For the author, miracles appeared and belonged solely in the Revelatory Period - the ancient time in which Jesus lived and preached his principles to followers. Their appearance is not frequent or spontaneous, and is always justified by a series of prefacing events. Their origin is with God and God alone, and each carries a decisive explanation.

Counterfeit Miracles is a book written by Benjamin B. Warfield, a prominent American theologian and professor of theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. The book is a critical examination of the claims of miraculous events, particularly those associated with the Pentecostal and charismatic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.In this book, Warfield argues that many of the claims of miraculous events are not genuine, but rather are the result of psychological or emotional manipulation, or outright fraud. He asserts that true miracles, as described in the Bible, are rare and extraordinary events that are unmistakably supernatural in nature, and that the claims of modern-day miracles do not meet this standard.Warfield also explores the theological implications of the claims of modern-day miracles, arguing that they undermine the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, and lead to a dangerous overemphasis on subjective experiences rather than objective truth.Overall, Counterfeit Miracles is a thought-provoking and challenging critique of the claims of modern-day miracles, and a call to Christians to be discerning and faithful in their pursuit of truth.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
