Abstract:

This article is a reply to Christopher C. Emerick’s reply to two articles the author has written on the doctrine of predestination, one of which offers a constructive proposal for the doctrine; the other sets out a creative reading of Romans 9–11. In this article, the author responds to Emerick’s complaints, and points out the convergences and divergences in his understanding of the doctrine and the author’s. Finally, the author will reiterate what he said previously, not only rephrasing what he said but also going beyond it in explanation for the sake of clarity.

Abstract:

The concept of God's foreknowledge and its relationship with predestination is one of the teachings in the Bible that is difficult to understand. Discussing the foreknowledge and predestination of God entails delving into the divine plan for humanity throughout eternity. Consequently, it has been subject to much speculation. The difficulty lies in affirming that it can only be comprehended to the extent that God reveals it in the Bible. Even biblical statements about it have been interpreted diversely. This is evidenced by the various views held by theologians from the 11th to the 15th century. Based on a literature review of these theologians, it is apparent that the foreknowledge of God has been understood in several senses: as God's foreknowledge of all things and causing predestination; as God's approval of the chosen ones and causing predestination; as predestination itself for the saved; and as God's foreknowledge of what He will do for believers, occurring simultaneously with predestination, both being caused by the will of God.

Abstract:

Abstract: Calvin was not the first and only person who have preceded the doctrine of predestination, because in his writings he used much of Augustine’s argument to explain the problem of predestination. If predestination is often identified with Calvin it is because he provides a more comprehensive and complete explanation of this doctrine. Predestination is totally God’s deed that by His omniscience, He choose some people to be saved, not because of their good deeds. It talks about God’s ultimate decree about the salvation. In other word, predestination is God’s eternal deed, that by His sovereignty choosing some people to get the grace of salvation, by not counting their merits nor good deeds and some people had been decided to be punished because of their sins.

Historically, the Pentecostal and charismatic traditions have opted for a basic Arminian view of predestination and election. This article responds to two recent articles on predestination and election by Chris Green highlighting some concerns about his view. As a means of preserving divine freedom and based upon the doctrine of the sovereignty of the Spirit, Pentecostals and charismatics are encouraged to consider afresh a Reformed understanding of predestination and election.

Abstract:

In contemporary Scottish culture the subject of predestination is guaranteed to evoke a variety of reactions ranging from horror and disgust on the one hand to laughter and ridicule on the other. It is viewed by some as a nightmare scenario devised by Christian theologians in their worst moments, while for odiers it is a ludicrous aberration of the medieval and Reformation mind. It is perceived frequently as the trademark of a theological mindset which is marked by harshness, legalism and a fatalistic attitude towards life. A clear example of this is Edwin Muir's biography of Knox which writes vitriolically of the oppression and tyranny of the predestinarian religion that was imported from Calvin's Geneva.

Abstract This article provides an English translation of Ernst Troeltsch’s 1907 essay titled “Prädestination” in its entirety, accompanied by a concise introduction to Troeltsch’s articulation of the doctrine of predestination and the salient features of the article. Readers can also trace adaptations between the 1907 and 1913 version of “Prädestination” via the footnotes. This translation provides Anglophone readers access to the only essay in which Troeltsch addresses the question of predestination directly. Significantly, predestination provides the foundation to his understanding of that which drives the development of all of history and therefore is crucial to understanding his thought.

Abstract:

The problem in this paper lies in the polemic that arises in the understanding of double predestination, especially regarding the theological dilemmas in it. On the one hand, God is described as a cruel and inhuman God when only choosing some people to be saved, and on the other hand Christian doctrine recognizes that God does indeed choose some people to love. The purpose of writing this essay is to prove that a comprehensive approach can reduce theological dilemmas and conflicts when discussing the formulation of predestination. The research method used is literature study, by describing the core of Calvin's double predestination and reviewing it by involving the interrelated attributes of God. The results of this study prove that when the concept of predestination is reviewed by involving the attributes of God as a whole, it appears that God cannot be called an arrogant God when choosing humans in the project of salvation.

Full text

Abstract:

Fr. Manuel Piñon, O.P., in his work Predestination and Salvation, insisted that it is imperative to clarify and rediscover the original features of the content of the doctrine of predestination,—a doctrine that has engendered misunderstanding within the Christian circle in the past—inasmuch as it is at the heart of the theology of Christian revelation. This study on the above proposition of the said Dominican scholastic is carried out through a threefold discussion. It traces the development of the dogma by utilizing as markers the two major thinkers in the Catholic tradition, namely Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, making their respective theological reflections as the premise upon which M. Piñon’s own exposition will be constructed. Moreover, the developments in the doctrine of predestination that had been introduced by thinkers reacting to the propositions of Augustine and Thomas Aquinas respectively are likewise to be investigated. It is in order to account for M. Piñon’s insistence on the need to rediscover and rearticulate the original understanding of the said doctrine. Without discounting the implication to human freedom, this study takes the stance that the issue of predestination is concerned more about the right doctrine of God. The theology of predestination, as proposed by M. Piñon, will be explored around the question: How to reconcile the notion of God who is solicitous about the salvation of all, with the view that some will end up condemned for eternity?

This article analyses the doctrine of predestination in Calvin's thought and offers an alternative to understand it from the perspective of the glory of God. With historical and systematic theological argumentations, the writer offers a key thought for understanding the complexity of Calvin's doctrine of predestination. The idea of the glory of God can serve as a key to understand the doctrine.?

Full text

Abstract:

As indicated by the name "quantum erasure," the most common interpretation of certain classes of delayed choice quantum experiments is that they, in some fashion, erase or undo past decisions. Unfortunately, this interpretation cannot be correct since the past decisions were already classically and irreversibly captured as recorded information or datums. A datum is information that, through temporal entanglement, constrains future events. The correct interpretation of such experiments is stranger than erasure: Recordings made early in such quantum experiments predestine choices made later through arbitrarily complex and often human-scale classical choices. Since this process of quantum predestination occurs only within the future light cone of datum creation, another (possibly) less radical way to interpret such experiments is that time is multiscale, granular, and impossible to define outside of the quantum state of the entities involved. The continuum time abstraction is not compatible with this view.

Abstract:

The doctrine of predestination in the Lutheran and Calvinist theology, along with the assumption of a radical separation of nature and grace as well as the material and spiritual realm, had a significant impact on social life. The salvation of the soul, the soteriological dimension of human destiny, remained dependent on the grace of God (predestination), undeserved and unfathomable. The earthly reality, the institution of the Church and good works could in no way contribute to the salvation of the soul. Martin Luther, especially at the initial stage of his reformation activities, focused on private spirituality, considering the earthly dimension of reality to be the domain of the secular power. John Calvin and his successors justified in their teachings a different attitude manifested in the interest in the earthly world based on religious ethics. The doctrine of predestination, therefore, did not result in, as one would expect, quietism but in activism. The Calvinists believed that predestination was not manifested in single good deeds but in a certain methodology of systematised life based on religious ethics. Religiousness was supposed to be expressed through activity in the world and was meant to show the glory of its Creator. Work, thrift and honesty were supposed to lead to the rebirth, i.e. “sanctification” of the world, and were the essence of what Max Weber called the spirit of capitalism. Calvinism led to changes in the approach to such economic issues as money lending at interest, work or enrichment.

Abstract: Given the importance of predestination to Reformed theology and the place that Calvin, Beza, and Perkins have in its development and in modern historiography, this article asks what these theologians actually said about predestination. It offers a brief exposition of their teachings on this important topic and seeks to demonstrate their basic complementarity of belief, their shared intention, and their desire to promote godliness by this aspect of sola gratia. It is no surprise that succeeding generations of Reformed orthodoxy such as the divines of the Westminster Assembly and the Dutch further Reformation looked to their writings as stellar examples of a predestinarian theology that is biblical, christological, and practical.

Abstract:

Recently it has been suggested that fundamental disagreements over the theology of grace had little impact upon parish life in early Stuart England. However, by considering the local circumstances and wider national repercussions of an open debate over predestination in the 1630s between two Norwich lecturers, William Bridge and John Chappell, this article will argue the contrary. It will show that the public nature of the clash between Bridge and Chappell, examined by the church courts, ensured that predestination became a politically divisive issue within Norwich's parishes on the eve of the English Civil War.

Abstract:

Calvin in popular imagination functions as a radical antagonist of rationalism and as an extreme advocat of predestination. This article, primarily on the base of analysis of Institutio Christiane religionis, shows that his doctrines are neither so distant from the theological and philosophical traditions, or so devoid of logical structure, as is commonly believed. When Calvin's conceptions of free will and justification are placed in a broader epistemological and anthropological perspective, a detailed analysis of his thought system shows that the idea of predestination is not his objective, but rather a logical extension.

Full text

Abstract:

Summary This paper proposes a reading of Thomas Aquinas’ doctrine of predestination as fundamentally oriented towards and realized in friendship with God. On this reading, the seemingly disparate questions, “What does it mean to be predestined?” and “What does it mean to grow in friendship with God?” are not only mutually illuminating but ultimately coterminous. In the first part of the paper, I contextualize this theological rapprochement by foregrounding Aquinas’ treatment in the Summa Theologiae of predestination as a Christocentric, communal reality, and by considering friendship with God as the end of Aquinas’ doctrine of grace. In the second part, I attend to Aquinas’ scriptural commentaries on Romans and the Gospel of John, in order to conduct a reading of predestination in/as friendship with God. Ultimately, as invited in friendship and adopted in grace into the life of Christ, God’s ordering of the rational creature to eternal life is nothing other than God’s ordering of humanity as viator to friendship with Himself in the inner life of Trinitarian love itself.

John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667) offers a highly creative seventeenth-century reconstruction of the doctrine of predestination, a reconstruction which both anticipates modern theological developments and sheds important light on the history of predestinarian thought. Moving beyond the framework of post-Reformation controversies, the poem emphasises both the freedom and the universality of electing grace, and the eternally decisive role of human freedom in salvation. The poem erases the distinction between an eternal election of some human beings and an eternal rejection of others, portraying reprobation instead as the temporal self-condemnation of those who wilfully reject their own election and so exclude themselves from salvation. While election is grounded in the gracious will of God, reprobation is thus grounded in the fluid sphere of human decision. Highlighting this sphere of human decision, the poem depicts the freedom of human beings to actualise the future as itself the object of divine predestination. While presenting its own unique vision of predestination, Paradise Lost thus moves towards the influential and distinctively modern formulations of later thinkers like Schleiermacher and Barth.

Abstract:

This paper compares the theological profiles of John Calvin and Jerome Zanchi, especially in their doctrines of predestination, on the basis of Calvin’s De aeterna Dei praedestinatione and Zanchi’s De natura Dei. It turns out that Calvin and Zanchi show substantial agreement in their understanding of predestination, both as election and as reprobation. At the same time, significant differences in presentation and argumentation can be detected. Placing both in their historical, ecclesiastical, and academic contexts, it is argued that Calvin’s insights, based on key biblical texts, require further conceptual exploration and clarification as provided by Zanchi.

Abstract:

This article examines the policy pursued by William Laud during his tenure as bishop of London, focusing specifically on the way in which he enforced the various royal edicts against discussion of predestination. It is argued that Laud enforced Charles I's decrees in an unbalanced manner, attacking Calvinists while apparently leaving their anti-Calvinist opponents untouched. It is likewise argued, however, that this strategy was accomplished not through a policy of overt judicial persecution, but through a more subtle regime of quiet threat and harassment. Such a policy was necessary because, at least in London, the question of predestination had by 1629 become a serious and explosive issue, one that was inextricably linked in the minds of many observers to more explicitly ‘secular’ matters of government and policy. In the process of examining Laud's strategy, the article seeks to untangle the question of why both the Caroline authorities and their enemies saw the seemingly scholastic question of predestination as a matter of such crucial political significance. Ultimately, the article helps to revise our understanding of the political atmosphere that prevailed in England at the outset of the personal rule, while likewise contributing to a deeper understanding of the political breakdown that led to civil war and revolution in the 1640s.
