요약 : This study investigates Augustine's understanding of baptism in the Donatist controversy and the Pelagian controversy. Through the investigation of his notion of baptism, I have attempted to demonstrate that there is no discrepancy between his position in the Donatist controversy and in the Pelagian controversy. In other words, through his concept of the sacrament of baptism, I have sought to demonstrate that in both controversies he emphasized both unmerited grace and the means of grace. Some of Augustine's critics, such as Harnack, Warfield, Schaff, Warfield, Pelikan, and Bosch have asserted that in the Donatist controversy he accentuated the means of grace, such as the church as well as its sacraments, and Christian behavior, which is the effect of unmerited grace. They have argued that in the Pelagian controversy he stressed unmerited grace as seen in his concept of predestination. In contrast to their views I propose that Augustine emphasized both grace and the means of grace in both controversies.

요약 : Part One examines Augustine's understanding of baptism in the Donatist controversy. By way of the notion of the validity of baptism, Augustine emphasized unmerited grace. This emphasis is revealed in his ideas of the trinitarian formula, the eschatological nature of the church, and sacramental symbolism. Due to these factors both Donatist baptism and Catholic baptism are always valid. Taking advantage of the concept of the efficacy of baptism, he bound salvation to the means of grace. With reference to the efficacy of baptism he stressed the episcopate, unity, and love. Even though Donatist baptism had its validity, it not efficacious to salvation because of the lack of these three factors. Only Catholic baptism has its efficacy. Moreover, for some Catholics their Catholic baptism is not efficacious to their salvation on account of their lack of love. In short, seen in his distinction between valid baptism and efficacious baptism, in the Donatist controversy he accentuated both unmerited grace and the means of grace.

요약 : Part Two investigates Augustine's understanding of baptism in the Pelagian controversy. By virtue of prevenient grace he stressed the gratuitous nature of salvation. This fact is best displayed in his concept of predestination. Moreover, grace is infused through the sacrament of baptism. For Augustine, predestination is a predestination toward the means of grace. The baptism of infants is its extreme example. On the other hand, his idea of perseverance shows that without strenuous endeavor on the part of human agency, human persons cannot be eventually saved. After operative grace transforms the will and recovers the image of God, human persons must bear fruit with the aid of cooperative grace. In brief, in the Pelagian controversy, he stressed unmerited grace for salvation. Yet, he did not ignore the means of grace in his ideas of predestination and perseverance.
초록/해제  
요약 : Augustine's concept of grace in the Pelagian controversy presupposes the double character of the church eschatologically conceived in the Donatist controversy. His understanding of the sinfulness of the will before grace in the Pelagian controversy was an elaboration of his understanding of humanity in the Donatist controversy. Moreover, according to his own description see in the Retractation, he did not change his position to a substantial degree.
