Pelagius and the Myth of Pelagianism

Anyone who doubts Calvinism will be labeled a Pelagian or Semi-Pelagian. But what if that label doesn’t even apply to Pelagius after whom the term is named? 

Below are two interviews with Dr. Ali Bonner, British scholar and author of The Myth of Pelagianism. I have watched the first one in its entirety. It is one of the most interesting conversations I’ve watched in a long time. 

I have not watched the second yet, but I am sharing it since it is another interview with Dr. Bonner. I hope to finally watch it this weekend.

If you want to learn about church history and why these terms get thrown around, then gather around with a cup of coffee or tea. You have the opportunity to learn something very interesting and relevant in the body of Christ today.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
