Perfect Will Theology: Divine Agency in Reformed Scholasticism as against Suárez, Episcopius, Descartes, and Spinoza: Brill's Series in Church History, cartea 42

Autor J. Martin Bac
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2010
This book revisits four early-modern debates of Reformed theology concerning the will of God. Reformed scholasticism advocated a particular relationship between divine knowledge, will, and power, which was altered by Jesuits, Remonstrants, Descartes, and Spinoza. In all these debates modal categories like contingency and necessity play a prominent part. Therefore, these positions are evaluated with the help of modern modal logic including possible world semantics. The final part of this study presents a systematic defense of the Reformed position, which has been charged of theological determinism and of making God the author of sin. In modern terms, therefore, the relation of divine and human freedom and the problem of evil are discussed.

Recenzii

"Bac...[haalt] de gereformeerde scholastiek met haar theologie dichterbij." Peter Wijnberger, Vox Voetianorum, Vol. 34, no. 3, pp. 40-45.

"Perfect Will Theology reveals the vital role that traditional metaphysical concepts such as the analogy of being, the distinction between primary and secondary causality, and a full-orbed understanding of the voluntas Dei can and should play in a Reformed doctrine of God [...] A welcome book."
Scott R. Swain, International Journal of Systematic Theology 16.1
