Opis

This study is in its broadest sense an inquiry into the intellectual origins of the Reformed branch of Protestantism generally, but inaccurately, designated Calvinism. More specifically, it concerns one of the early theologians who gave formative shape to Reformed theology, Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499-1562), and focuses on his adoption of the soteriological doctrine of gemina praedestinatio, double predestination: divine election and divine reprobation.

Recenzje

This is a bold book which future research may well prove sound in its central conviction. It deserves to provoke fresh scrutiny of the placing of predestination in the late medieval and early Protestant thought. Above all, it should attract a new readership to Peter Martyr Vermigli.
