Why present tense?
Hi. I was reading a book called Christian Theology (An Introduction) by Alister E. McGrath, published by Blackwell, Oxford UK and Cambridge USA, and on page 23, it had this sentence. Why is the verb "are" in present tense?
Pelagius taught that the resources of salvation are located within humanity.
Top answer
The writer is telling us that Pelagius saw this as an eternal truth. Consider this simpler example. Ten years ago, I learned that the sun rises in the East.
