Ok, I am the author and I am reviewing my own book. Is that weird or narcissistic or both? Well, I gave myself 4 stars rather than 5, because I was a bit disappointed about how the "author" failed to offer a biblical exegesis of the passages quoted in Appendices A and B. Nonetheless, the reader will hopefully find in this work a good, concise summary of the issues at stake during the Semipelagian controversy, coming away with a greater historical appreciation of it. I wrote this book as a way of thinking outloud some lingering questions and nagging doubts. As a result, I have come to appreciate belief in predestination (exemplified by Orange II's moderate Augustinian version of it) and to reject the Semipelagian legacy of my Catholic upbringing and graduate education. Thank God for the monastics I have encountered in my life, who pointed me to the direction of the primacy of divine grace, otherwise I would still be stuck at a superficial "activism" and emphasis on human will/works!
