Description
Summary:Evidence from the recently-discovered Epist. 4* (CSEL 88, 26-29) and from the De gestis Pelagii illustrates the interest Cyril may have had in Augustine and the Pelagian controversy. An examination of evidence from Cyril's 'De adoratione in spiritu et veritate', 'Glaphyra', 'Commentarius in Isaiam prophetam', 'Commentarii in Iohannes', 'In epsitulam ad Romanos', 'De sancta et consubstantiali Trinitate', 'Responsiones ad Tiberium', 'De dogmatum solutione' and 'Scholia de incarnatione Unigeniti', however, demonstrates that Cyril's views about original sin, free will and grace were not deeply influenced in one way or another by Augustine during the Pelagian controversy.
