Excerpt from The British and Foreign Evangelical Review, 1867, Vol. 16 Up to this time the controversies that had been carried on within the Church had reference mainly to the doctrines of the person of Christ and of the Holy Trinity, as the Arian, the Nestorian, the Eutychian, and the Monophysite contro versies. But now, for a number Of years, the whole energies of the church were concentrated on the discussion Of the doctrines of sin and of grace in connection with the Pelagian controversy. The controversy did not terminate with Pela gius and his immediate associates. Others arose after them. The forms and aspects of the controversy gradually changed. In some respects, indeed, that controversy may be said to be continued to the present day for it is the Old Opposition to the doctrine of the sovereignty Of divine grace, the Old ueberschatzung menschlichen Thuns, overvaluation of human effort, which lies at the root of many of the doctrinal controversies of modern times. But still, in its first, and what may be called its grossest form, Pelagianism rose to its maturity, and again sunk from View in the time of Pelagius himself.
