The Age of Pelagius

By Filings on Thu, 06/06/19
Society & Culture
Pelagianism
Freedom
American Culture

“For decades now our politics and culture have been dominated by a particular philosophy of freedom. It is a philosophy of liberation from family and tradition, of escape from God and community… a philosophy that has defined our age, though it is far from new. In fact, its most influential proponent lived 1,700 years ago: a British monk who eventually settled in Rome named Pelagius.” - Christianity Today

Haven’t had time to read this yet, but I’m skeptical that Pelagianism has much to do with modern western leftism.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
