More Christian History, including a list of events that occurred this week in the church's past, is available at ChristianHistory.net. Subscriptions to the quarterly print magazine are also available.

Christian History's issue on Augustine (issue 67) is available online or for purchase at the Christian History Store.

Very little primary source material from Pelagius survives, except in fragments from Augustine, Jerome, and other anti-Pelagian writers.

The debate continues. See, for example, C. Stephen Evans's Books & Culture review of R.C. Sproul's Willing to Believe: The Controversy Over Free Will.
