Julian of Eclanum

c. 386–c. 455 AD

Bishop of Eclanum in southern Italy and the sharpest opponent of Augustine's late teaching on grace and original sin. Deposed for refusing to condemn Pelagius, he argued that human nature remains good and the will free. Much of his writing survives only inside Augustine's replies.
