The Merits and forgiving about infant baptism


De peccatorum meritis et remissione et de baptismo parvulorum - the first anti-Pelagian treatise of Bishop Augustine of Hippo written in 412, whose title in Polish means: On punishments for sins and their forgiveness and on the baptism of children. The direct inspiration for writing the work was the request of Comrade Marcelino that the Bishop of Hippo would correct the teaching of Celestius who, in the wake of Rufin from Syria, denied that Adam's sin (original sin) would be passed on to people in any way. Marcelin was the secretary of the state of the West Roman Empire and a close friend of Augustine.

A critical edition appeared in the Corpus Scriptor Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum in 1913: volume 60, 1-151. They were published by C. F. Urba, J. Zych.

According to theologians such as Agostino Trapè and Vittorino, Grossi is one of the most significant positions in Catholic theology. Augustine himself, three years after writing it, in a letter to Evangelius (Letter 169), called her a great book against the heresy of Pelagius. The treaty consisted primarily of two books. The third book is in fact an attached letter from Augustine, written in reaction to the Pelagian commentary on the Letter to the Romans. At De peccatorum meritis, the Bishop of Hippo studied in depth subjects such as: original sin and redemption, justification, infant baptism, sinlessness and the necessity of supportive (worker) grace, human liberty, concupiscentia, destiny, understanding of the transfer of sin (tradux peccati) and analogy Adama and Christ.
