    Pelagius (ca. 354 - ca. 420/440) was an ascetic monk, theologian and reformer from the British Isles who taught that human beings were free and had to take responsibility for their own salvation. He represented Celtic Christianity which was more closely connected to the eastern rather than the western Church.

In the second decade of the fifth century, he had taken up residence in Jerusalem, and from there he continued to exert great influence.

    In thinking about our righteousness, Pelagius looked at the sin of Adam. He began to believe that Adam’s sin did not have a direct impact on us. In fact, a better way to think of Adam, according to Pelagius, is in terms of an example to us.

    That means that you and I are not born in sin or born with a sinful nature. Instead, we are
