In the history of Christianity, assessments of Pelagius-especially of his anthropology-have always been based on the claim that he is representative of those who both emphasize the capacity of humans and degrade the grace of God. Obviously, most of these assessments are more or less derived from how Augustine understood and assessed Pelagius’ anthropology, as well as Augustine’s own anthropological understanding. Yet Augustine’s anthropology is not the only voice in Christianity. Thus, his criticism of Pelagius is not representative of all different assessments of him in Christian history. Based on this understanding, this paper aims to reexamine the understandings and assessments of Pelagius throughout Christian history. In view of a pluralistic understanding of anthropology in the Christian tradition, this paper argues that the assessments of Pelagius’ anthropology cannot be seen as totally correct. In fact, his anthropology is representative of the ascetic tradition in early Christianity, which is distinct from Augustine’s anthropological tradition.
