Caelestius, Follower of Pelagius

Caelestius, before he joined Pelagius, while he was still a very young man, wrote three letters to his parents On the Monastic Life. They were written as short books and contain moral sayings suited to everyone who is seeking God. They show no trace of the fault that appeared later, but are wholly given to encouraging virtue.
