| description | Prosper of Aquitaine is best known for accusing the monks of Provence of being Semipelagians. Due to these accusations, since the 16th century, scholars would have considered that John Cassian´s 13th Conference (apr. 426 AD) played an important role in the development of a soft version of Pelagianism, after reading it as a contestation of Augustine´s teachings on grace, free will and predestination. This article intends to discuss the concept of heresy, analysing the 13th Conference not as opposing to Augustine´s positions, but as part of a monastical theological´s perspective, settled in Provence and centered in human agency and in the importance of obedience in order to achieve salvation. |
