He insists that the Church is a universal body open to all believers, including those who may have faltered, and that reconciliation and forgiveness are central to Christian doctrine. Augustine contends that the Donatist stance fosters division and exclusivity, which he views as contrary to Christs teachings. Through theological reasoning, scriptural references, and logical arguments, Augustine builds a case for the inclusivity and unity of the Church, advocating that true Christianity involves humility, mercy, and a willingness to forgive.These writings played a pivotal role in shaping early Christian theology and ecclesiology, especially concerning the concepts of grace, community, and the role of the Church in society. Augustines refutation of the Donatist position contributed significantly to the development of Western Christian doctrine, particularly in defining the Church as a community not solely of the "pure" but of all who seek redemption. His works on the Donatist controversy remain foundational texts in Christian theological studies, emphasizing the value of unity, the power of grace, and the Churchs responsibility to embrace both saints and sinners.</p>...7049639Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy2020https://www.gandhi.com.mx/writings-in-connection-with-the-donatist-controversy-9789370868816/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7012675/image.jpg?v=638786980906900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
