Description
The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism by Ken Wilson is a groundbreaking exploration of free will in ancient and early Christian thought. Dr. Wilson's doctoral thesis, now presented in a more accessible format, delves into the complexities of free will across various philosophical and religious traditions.
With clear explanations and translations of ancient languages, this book provides essential background information on free will in Stoicism, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and Manichaeism. It then guides readers through the writings of early Christian authors who addressed the topic of free will, ultimately revealing a curious split between St. Augustine's early and later works.
Dr. Wilson shows how the ideas presented in Augustine's later writings became the foundation for modern Calvinist theology, also known as Augustinian-Calvinism. This thought-provoking book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of free will in Christian thought.
