The issues involved in the discussion between the monks of
Hadrumetum/Marseille and Augustine range from questions of initium fidei and
naturae bonum , to the understanding of predestination. The monks'
reaction to Augustine's doctrine of absolute sovereign grace must be seen
as a plea in favour of a harmonizing approach, where human commitment is also
envisaged as playing, at times, a primary role. In the light of a dialogical
synergism, of a unitarian and cosmic view of God's oeconomia salutis , and
relying on a strong ascetic framework, the monks biggest fear was that the
implications of Augustine's predestinarian view would jeopardise the
importance of the struggle for perfection, the meaning of God's universal
salvific will, of Christ's redeeming action, and finally of the Church. The
different theological traditions to which Augustine and the monks appealed play
also a significant role, as do the specific social and religious context in
which they respectively moved.
