Description
Couenhoven addresses these issues by taking up two main questions: 'what does a doctrine of predestination actually imply?', and 'why has a version of this doctrine nonetheless proved appealing to so many great theologians?' In providing answers to these queries, Couenhoven leads the reader through the thorny issues connected with the Christian understanding of predestination. He analyzes what predestination meant to St. Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Barth, and explains the different ways in which they held together belief in predestination, free will, and God's goodness. Couenhoven concludes that belief in predestination is more defensible than is widely believed.
