Description
Calvinist determinism faces two major objections: that it destroys moral responsibility and makes God the author of sin. This book provides a comprehensive defense against these arguments, exploring the implications of Calvinist views on human free will and the nature of evil. The author addresses key challenges to Calvinist determinism, including the consequences of determinism for human agency and the coherence of the Calvinist view in light of objections such as the principle of alternate possibilities. The book also examines the question of whether God is involved in sin, considering whether God causes or permits sin, and what this means for our understanding of divine sovereignty. By engaging with these complex issues, Guillaume Bignon offers a rigorous and nuanced assessment of Calvinist theology, providing a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the philosophy of religion.
