Explanation / Answer
1. It was written on the concept of salvation of infidels. it is the work written against semi pelagians about the year 450 probably in rome. this work tries to solve the illusion that what we should expect and what we should not expect.
it also objects that all the work that has been done is done by man by his will and there is no intruption from the god in making it successful.
it says that begining of all good work comes from grace , not from man and final completion of that work is the gift of god not only the man's will.
