The struggle between divine grace and human free will is as old as the Church itself. In the early fifth century, two men—Augustine of Hippo and Pelagius the British monk—stood on opposite sides of a theological divide that would shape Christian thought for centuries. In The Struggle For Grace , pastor-theologian Dwayne Carroll brings this ancient controversy to life for modern readers. With warmth, clarity, and deep biblical conviction, he traces how Augustine’s gospel of sovereign grace confronted Pelagius’s confidence in human ability—and why that same battle still rages in today’s pulpits, classrooms, and hearts. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and the wisdom of early councils, Carroll explains: The historical background that gave rise to the debate - Pelagius’s moralistic optimism and its enduring appeal - Augustine’s radical dependence on grace born from personal conversion - How the Church defended the gospel of grace through councils and confessions - The debate’s continuing influence on Reformed theology, Arminianism, and modern Provisionism Far more than a history lesson, this book calls readers to rediscover the transforming power of grace. It challenges self-reliance, humbles pride, and exalts the mercy of God that alone can free the human will from sin’s bondage. Whether you are a pastor, student, or thoughtful believer, Grace, Sin, and Human Free Will will strengthen your understanding of salvation and deepen your awe of the God who saves not by effort, but by grace alone.
