JimB said Interesting book dealing with subjects quite foreign to modern readers. Interesting book dealing with subjects quite foreign to modern readers about a subject of vital importance to every professing Christian believer. I was brought up in a tradition different from the reformed theology of Calvin and it was a revelation when I first encountered biblical theology of the doctrines of grace.. don't mess with calvin This is an excellent debate on free will and predestiantion. it is extremely scholaraly and Calvin is more nuanced and complex than Luther. this book centers around Augustinian thought, as both Rome and the Reformers claimed him as their champion on this issue. Calvin showed conclusively, that Augustine sided with the reformers and solidified the reformation as something not novel, but as a spokesman for Augustine on the treatment of the will and the sinful state of man. The Reformation, it has been said, was the victory of Augustine's thoughts on salvation over Augustine's thoughts of the church..
