Two controversial and key issues in Christianity are brought to the forefront in these chapter:
1. Church & Government Relationship (starting on pg. 103-4 & all throughout Ch. 4)
2. Free Will vs. Human Inability (Augustine vs. Pelagius pg. 134 – 141)
In your first paragraph (100 words or more) address how the Church and Government relationship developed from 300 – 600. Discuss how this is so different than our church idea of “separation of church and state”. Also analyze current events and how this is still a complicated issue in our culture.
Describe the stances of Augustine and Pelagius. Then discuss why this is a controversial topic.
