Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The issues involved in the discussion between the monks of Hadrumetum/Marseille and Augustine range from questions of initium fidei and naturae bonum, to the understanding of predestination. The monks’ reaction to Augustine’s doctrine of absolute sovereign grace must be seen as a plea in favour of a harmonizing approach, where human commitment is also envisaged as playing, at times, a primary role. In the light of a dialogical synergism, of a unitarian and cosmic view of God’s oeconomia salutis, and relying on a strong ascetic framework, the monks biggest fear was that the implications of Augustine’s predestinarian view would jeopardise the importance of the struggle for perfection, the meaning of God’s universal salvific will, of Christ’s redeeming action, and finally of the Church. The different theological traditions to which Augustine and the monks appealed play also a significant role, as do the specific social and religious context in which they respectively moved.
