About
"Lane and Davies have provided students of Calvin with an exceedingly useful tool for studying the Reformer's views on the human will and his polemical and theological methodology."--Raymond A. Blacketer, Calvin Theological Journal
This volume provides Calvin's fullest treatment of the relationship between the grace of God and the free will of humans. It offers insight into Calvin's interpretations of the church fathers, especially Augustine, on the topics of grace and free will and contains Calvin's answer to Pighius's objection that preaching is unnecessary if salvation is by grace alone. An extensive historical introduction notes the value of this treatise. This important work, edited by renowned scholar A. N. S. Lane, contains material not found elsewhere in Calvin's writings and will be required reading for students of Calvin and the Protestant Reformation.
