Commentary on Romans (Pelagius)

Commentary on Romans is a commentary of Epistle to the Romans written before 410 by British ascetic Pelagius. It is Pelagius' longest extant work.

Reception

In 412, Augustine read Pelagius' Commentary on Romans and described its author as a "highly advanced Christian", although he disagreed with Pelagius' exegesis of Romans 5:12, which he believed downplayed original sin.
