The Merits And Remission Of Sins And The Baptism Of Infants - Paperback

""The Merits and Remission of Sins and the Baptism of Infants"" by Saint Augustine is a theological treatise that explores the nature of sin, forgiveness, and the sacrament of baptism. In this book, Augustine argues that all humans are born with original sin, which can only be washed away through baptism. He also discusses the concept of merit, or the idea that good deeds can earn salvation, and the role of the church in granting remission of sins. Additionally, Augustine addresses the controversial topic of infant baptism, arguing that it is necessary for the salvation of infants who have not yet committed personal sins. This book is a foundational work in Christian theology and has had a significant impact on the development of Christian doctrine.THIS 70 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: St. Augustin Anti-Pelagian Writings: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church V5, by Saint Augustin .
