Abstract
|
:
|
Cary's thesis is indicated in the subtitle - that Augustine's thought has no room for a concept of efficacious external means of grace, i.e., that neither word nor sacrament (both of which are outward signs) can convey to us the divine inner gift of grace. Therefore nothing external has the power to save us.
