I want to apologize again. I realize that is has been over two years since I last added anything to the Patristics In English Project website. Work and other projects became overwhelming. I have some good news though. Pelagius' writings have been extremely popular on this site and today I added a new work by him. This time it was his Confession Of Faith sent to Innocent I in Rome. Enjoy and hopefully I will have a new edition of all of the letters of Antony of the Desert up soon too thanks to the generous efforts of my lovely wife.

I really apologize for the delay in adding new stuff. Work and school have consumed a large amount of my time. I have added the Canons from the Council of Carthage on May 1, 418 from Charles Joseph Hefele's History Of The Councils. I plan on adding more council information from Hefele in the future.

Added Pelagius' Written Anathema and Chapters. Also added Coelestius' Unnamed Books and Written Statement of Belief. I think that I am done with Pelagius for a while. I think there are more fragments of his but I feel that I have adequately given people enough of the man's writings so that they can form an opinion on what he taught. It seems a shame that it has taken over one hundred years for someone to do this.

Added the reconstructed fragments of Pelagius' Synod at Lydda in 415AD.

17 Mar 06:

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! I have added a feature that will allow people to translate and have it immediately published to the web. The URL is here. Just follow the instructions on the page if you would like to give a hand to translating. Our first text, a test of sorts, is a letter by Venerable Bede. Happy translating.
