This heresy was taught by Pelagius in the early church, resurrected by Socinus and his followers (the Socinians) in the sixteenth century, promoted by certain Unitarian and liberal Protestant theologians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (such as Hastings Rashdall in The Idea of Atonement in Christian Theology [1919]), and openly articulated by pluralists in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century.
